Young stellar populations in type II quasars: timing the onset of star formation and nuclear activity
Patricia S Bessiere, Clive N Tadhunter, Cristina Ramos Almeida +2
Despite the emerging morphological evidence that luminous quasar-like AGN are triggered in galaxy mergers, the natures of the triggering mergers and the order of events in the trig…
From galaxy-scale fueling to nuclear-scale feedback: the merger-state of radio galaxies 3C293, 3C305 & 4C12.50
Bjorn Emonts, Raffaella Morganti, Montserrat Villar-Martin +5
Powerful radio galaxies are often associated with gas-rich galaxy mergers. These mergers may provide the fuel to trigger starburst and active galactic nuclear (AGN) activity. In th…
Upholding the Unified Model for Active Galactic Nuclei: VLT/FORS2 Spectropolarimetry of Seyfert 2 galaxies
Cristina Ramos Almeida, M. J. Martínez Gonzalez, A. Asensio Ramos +5
The origin of the unification model for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) was the detection of broad hydrogen recombination lines in the optical polarized spectrum of the Seyfert 2 gala…
Radio AGN in the local universe: unification, triggering and evolution
Clive Tadhunter
Associated with one of the most important forms of active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback, and showing a strong preference for giant elliptical host galaxies, radio AGN (L_1.4GHz >…
The missing link: tracing molecular gas in the outer filament of Centaurus A
Raffaella Morganti, Tom Oosterloo, J. B. Raymond Oonk +2
We report the detection, using observations of the CO(2-1) line performed with the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX), of molecular gas in the region of the outer filament of Cen…
Ionized outflows in luminous type 2 AGNs at z<0.6: no evidence for significant impact on the host galaxies
Montse Villar-Martin, Santiago Arribas, Bjorn Emonts +5
We investigate the presence of extended ionized outflows in 18 luminous type 2 AGNs (11 quasars and 7 high luminosity Seyfert 2s) at 0.3<z<0.6 based on VLT-FORS2 spectroscopy. We i…
