The Compton-thick AGN Population and the Distribution of Low-mass AGN in our Cosmic Backyard
A. Annuar, D. M. Alexander, P. Gandhi +21
We present a census of the Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nucleus (AGN) population and the column density () distribution of AGN in our cosmic backyard using a mid-…
An obscured quasar census with the 4MOST IR AGN survey: design, predicted properties, and scientific goals
Carolina Andonie, David M. Alexander, Claire Greenwell +11
We present the 4MOST IR AGN survey, the first large-scale optical spectroscopic survey characterizing mid-infrared (MIR) selected obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN). The survey…
ALMA/SCUBA-2 COSMOS Survey: Properties of X-ray- and SED-selected AGNs in Bright Submillimeter Galaxies
Ryosuke Uematsu, Yoshihiro Ueda, David M. Alexander +11
We investigate the properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the brightest submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the COSMOS field. We utilize the bright sample of ALMA/SCUBA-2 COSM…
The NuSTAR Local AGN Distribution Survey (NuLANDS) I: Towards a Truly Representative Column Density Distribution in the Local Universe
Peter G. Boorman, Poshak Gandhi, Johannes Buchner +33
Hard X-ray-selected samples of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) provide one of the cleanest views of supermassive black hole accretion, but are biased against objects obscured by Compt…
ADF22-WEB: A giant barred spiral starburst galaxy in the z = 3.1 SSA22 protocluster core
H. Umehata, C. C. Steidel, I. Smail +15
In the present-day universe, the most massive galaxies are ellipticals located in the cores of galaxy clusters, harboring the heaviest super-massive black holes (SMBHs). However th…
IC 3639 - A new bona fide Compton thick AGN unveiled by NuSTAR
Peter G. Boorman, P. Gandhi, D. Alexander +19
We analyse high-quality NuSTAR observations of the local (z = 0.011) Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN) IC 3639, in conjunction with archival Suzaku and Chandra data. This pro…
A NuSTAR Survey of Nearby Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
Stacy H. Teng, Jane R. Rigby, Daniel Stern +17
We present a NuSTAR, Chandra, and XMM--Newton survey of nine of the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). The unprecedented sensitivity of NuSTAR at energies above 10 k…
A remarkably flat relationship between the average star formation rate and AGN luminosity for distant X-ray AGN
F. Stanley, C. M. Harrison, D. M. Alexander +5
In this study we investigate the relationship between the star formation rate, SFR, and AGN luminosity, L(AGN), for ~2000 X-ray detected AGN. The AGN span over three orders of magn…
NuSTAR J033202-2746.8: direct constraints on the Compton reflection in a heavily obscured quasar at z~2
A. Del Moro, J. R. Mullaney, D. M. Alexander +25
We report NuSTAR observations of NuSTAR J033202-2746.8, a heavily obscured, radio-loud quasar detected in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South, the deepest layer of the NuSTAR ext…
