Heavy X-ray obscuration in the most-luminous galaxies discovered by WISE
F. Vito, W. N. Brandt, D. Stern +11
Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs) are hyperluminous () infrared galaxies with extremely high (up to hundreds of K) dust tempe…
Linking black-hole growth with host galaxies: The accretion-stellar mass relation and its cosmic evolution
G. Yang, W. N. Brandt, F. Vito +9
Previous studies suggest that the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) may be fundamentally related to host-galaxy stellar mass (). To investigate this SMBH growth-$…
Deepest view of AGN X-ray variability with the 7 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South survey
X. C. Zheng, Y. Q. Xue, W. N. Brandt +13
We systematically analyze X-ray variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the 7~Ms \textit{Chandra} Deep Field-South survey. On the longest timescale ( years), we…
High-redshift AGN in the Chandra Deep Fields: the obscured fraction and space density of the sub- population
F. Vito, W. N. Brandt, G. Yang +14
We investigate the population of high-redshift () AGN selected in the two deepest X-ray surveys, the 7 Ms \textit{Chandra} Deep Field-South and 2 Ms \textit{Chandra} D…
Tracing the accretion history of supermassive Black Holes through X-ray variability: results from the Chandra Deep Field-South
M. Paolillo, I. Papadakis, W. N. Brandt +15
We study the X-ray variability properties of distant AGNs in the Chandra Deep Field-South region over 17 years, up to , and compare them with those predicted by models bas…
The primordial environment of supermassive black holes (II): deep Y and J band images around the z=6.3 quasar SDSS J1030+0524
B. Balmaverde, R. Gilli, M. Mignoli +9
Many cosmological studies predict that early supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can only form in the most massive dark matter halos embedded within large scale structures marked by g…
Black-Hole Growth is Mainly Linked to Host-Galaxy Stellar Mass rather than Star Formation Rate
G. Yang, C. -T. J. Chen, F. Vito +14
We investigate the dependence of black-hole accretion rate (BHAR) on host-galaxy star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass () in the CANDELS/GOODS-South field in the redshift…
AGN vs. host galaxy properties in the COSMOS field
G. Lanzuisi, I. Delvecchio, S. Berta +13
The coeval AGN and galaxy evolution and the observed local relations between SMBHs and galaxy properties suggest some connection or feedback between SMBH growth and galaxy build-up…
