Direct Tests of Black Hole Accretion Rate Prescriptions: I. Bondi Accretion at Different Scales
James Agostino, Ming-Yi Lin, Natasha Jones +9
We present spatially resolved parsec-scale measurements of nuclear conditions (gas density and kinetic temperature) relevant for black hole accretion rate predictions in the Seyfer…
Molecular Outflows in the Nucleus of the Nearby Compton-thick AGN NGC 3079
Ming-Yi Lin, Anne Medling, Richard Davies +14
We present Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) observations of the CO (2-1) molecular gas kinematics in the nearby Compton-thick Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3079, with an angular r…
The Role of Host Galaxy for the Environmental Dependence of Active Nuclei in Local Galaxies
R. I. Davies, E. K. S. Hicks, P. Erwin +22
We discuss the environment of local hard X-ray selected active galaxies, with reference to two independent group catalogues. We find that the fraction of these AGN in S0 host galax…
Constraints on the Broad Line Region Properties and Extinction in Local Seyferts
Allan Schnorr-Müller, R. I. Davies, K. T. Korista +22
We use high spectral resolution (R > 8000) data covering 3800-13000Å to study the physical conditions of the broad line region (BLR) of nine nearby Seyfert 1 galaxies. Up to six br…
On the relation of optical obscuration and X-ray absorption in Seyfert galaxies
L. Burtscher, R. I. Davies, J. Gracia-Carpio +15
The optical classification of a Seyfert galaxy and whether it is considered X-ray absorbed are often used interchangeably. But there are many borderline cases and also numerous exa…
Insights on the Dusty Torus and Neutral Torus from Optical and X-ray Obscuration in a Complete Volume Limited Hard X-ray AGN Sample
R. Davies, L. Burtscher, D. Rosario +21
We describe a complete volume limited sample of nearby active galaxies selected by their 14-195keV luminosity, and outline its rationale for studying the mechanisms regulating gas…
Obscuration in AGNs: near-infrared luminosity relations and dust colors
L. Burtscher, G. Orban de Xivry, R. I. Davies +11
We combine two approaches to isolate the AGN luminosity at near-infrared wavelengths and relate the near-IR pure AGN luminosity to other tracers of the AGN. Using integral-field sp…
