Dust in active galactic nuclei. Mid-infrared T-ReCS/Gemini spectra using the new RedCan pipeline
O. Gonzalez-Martin, J. M. Rodriguez-Espinosa, T. Diaz-Santos +6
The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) claims that the properties of AGN depend on the viewing angle of the observer with respect to a toroidal distribution of dust surr…
Probing nuclear activity versus star formation at z~0.8 using near-infrared multi-object spectroscopy
Cristina Ramos Almeida, J. M. Rodriguez Espinosa, J. A. Acosta-Pulido +3
We present near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observations of 28 X-ray and mid-infrared selected sources at a median redshift of z~0.8 in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). To date thi…
SAFIR: testing the coexistence of AGN and star formation activity and the nature of the dusty torus in the local universe
M. Sanchez-Portal, M. Castillo-Fraile, C. Ramos Almeida +16
We present the Seyfert and star formation Activity in the Far-InfraRed (SAFIR) project, a small (15.1h) Herschel guaranteed time proposal performing PACS and SPIRE imaging of a sma…
Star-formation laws in extreme starbursts
S. Garcia-Burillo, A. Usero, A. Alonso-Herrero
The observational study of star-formation laws is paramount to disentangling the physical processes at work on local and global scales in galaxies. To this aim we have expanded the…
VLT-SINFONI integral field spectroscopy of low-z luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies I. Atlas of the 2D gas structure
J. Piqueras López, L. Colina, S. Arribas +2
We present an atlas of a sample of local (U)LIRGs covering the luminosity range log(L_IR/L_sun)=11.1-12.4. The atlas is based on near-infrared H and K-band VLT-SINFONI IFS, and pre…
Using the Bright Ultra-Hard XMM-Newton Survey to define an IR selection of luminous AGN based on WISE colours
S. Mateos, A. Alonso-Herrero, F. J. Carrera +7
We present a highly complete and reliable mid-infrared (MIR) colour selection of luminous AGN candidates using the 3.4, 4.6, and 12 um bands of the WISE survey. The MIR colour wedg…
