Recoiling Black Hole Candidates from Spatially Offset Broad Emission Lines in MaNGA
R. Scott Barrows, Julia M. Comerford, James Negus +1
From the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, we identify 14 off-nuclear broad (FWHM>1000 km/s) Halpha and/or Hbeta emission line sources that indica…

A Catalog of Broad Hα and Hβ Active Galactic Nuclei in MaNGA
James Negus, Julia M. Comerford, Francisco Müller Sánchez
Broad H and H emission lines (FWHM > 1,000 km s) are incredibly efficient tracers of the high-velocity clouds encircling Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). As a result, w…

An Excess of AGNs Triggered by Galaxy Mergers in MaNGA Galaxies of Stellar Mass
Julia M. Comerford, Rebecca Nevin, James Negus +7
To facilitate new studies of galaxy merger driven fueling of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we present a catalog of 387 AGNs that we have identified in the final population of over…
