The Mean Star-Forming Properties of QSO Host Galaxies

D. J. Rosario, B. Trakhtenbrot, D. Lutz +22

Quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) occur in galaxies in which supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are growing substantially through rapid accretion of gas. Many popular models of the co-evo…

The dependence of Galactic outflows on the properties and orientation of zCOSMOS galaxies at z ~ 1

R. Bordoloi, S. J. Lilly, E. Hardmeier +44

We present an analysis of cool outflowing gas around galaxies, traced by MgII absorption lines in the co-added spectra of a sample of 486 zCOSMOS galaxies at 1 < z < 1.5. These gal…

zCOSMOS 20k: Satellite galaxies are the main drivers of environmental effects in the galaxy population at least to z~0.7

K. Kovac, S. J. Lilly, C. Knobel +41

We explore the role of environment in the evolution of galaxies over 0.1<z<0.7 using the final zCOSMOS-bright data set. Using the red fraction of galaxies as a proxy for the quench…

Listening to galaxies tuning at z ~ 2.5 - 3.0: The first strikes of the Hubble fork

M. Talia, A. Cimatti, M. Mignoli +4

We investigate the morphological properties of 494 galaxies selected from the GMASS survey at z>1, primarily in their optical rest frame, using HST images, from the CANDELS survey.…

Obscured AGN at z~1 from the zCOSMOS-Bright Survey I. Selection and Optical Properties of a [Ne v]-selected sample

M. Mignoli, C. Vignali, R. Gilli +46

A sample of 94 narrow line AGN with 0.65<z<1.20 has been selected from the 20k-Bright zCOSMOS galaxy sample by detection of the high-ionization [NeV]3426 line. Taking advantage of…

Spot the difference. Impact of different selection criteria on observed properties of passive galaxies in zCOSMOS 20-k sample

M. Moresco, L. Pozzetti, A. Cimatti +50

We present the analysis of photometric, spectroscopic, and morphological properties for differently selected samples of passive galaxies up to z=1 extracted from the zCOSMOS-20k sp…

Investigating the relationship between AGN activity and stellar mass in zCOSMOS galaxies at 0<z<1 using emission line diagnostic diagrams

M. Vitale, M. Mignoli, A. Cimatti +49

We investigate the link between AGN activity, star-formation and stellar mass of the host galaxy at 0<z<1, looking for spectroscopic traces of AGN and aging of the host. This work…

A comparative analysis of virial black-hole mass estimates of moderate-luminosity active galactic nuclei using Subaru/FMOS

Kenta Matsuoka, John D. Silverman, Malte Schramm +27

We present an analysis of broad emission lines observed in moderate-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs), typical of those found in X-ray surveys of deep fields, with the aim t…
