Extended X-ray Emission in Compton Thick AGN with Deep Chandra Observations
Mackenzie L Jones, K. Parker, G. Fabbiano +7
We present the spatial analysis of five Compton thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGNs), including MKN 573, NGC 1386, NGC 3393, NGC 5643, and NGC 7212, for which high resolution C…
Measuring Supermassive Black Hole Spin in the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy Survey
Mackenzie Jones, Laura Brenneman, Francesca Civano +2
Spin measurements of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) provide crucial constraints on the accretion processes that power active galactic nuclei (AGN), fuel outflows, and trigger bla…
Is extended hard X-ray emission ubiquitous in Compton-thick AGN?
Jingzhe Ma, Martin Elvis, G. Fabbiano +4
The recent Chandra discovery of extended kpc-scale hard ( 3 keV) X-ray emission in nearby Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGN) opens a new window to improving A…
Chandra Observations of NGC 7212: Large-scale Extended Hard X-ray Emission
Mackenzie L. Jones, G. Fabbiano, Martin Elvis +5
Recent observations of nearby Compton thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with Chandra have resolved hard (>3 keV) X-ray emission extending out from the central supermassive b…
Evolution of black hole and galaxy growth in a semi-numerical galaxy formation model
Mackenzie L. Jones, R. C. Hickox, S. J. Mutch +3
We present a simple semi-numerical model designed to explore black hole growth and galaxy evolution. This method builds on a previous model for black hole accretion that uses a sem…
Cosmic evolution of supermassive black holes: A view into the next two decades
Francesca Civano, Nico Cappelluti, Ryan Hickox +38
The discoveries made over the past 20 years by Chandra and XMM-Newton surveys in conjunction with multiwavelength imaging and spectroscopic data available in the same fields have s…
The halo mass of optically-luminous quasars at z=1-2 measured via gravitational deflection of the cosmic microwave background
J. E. Geach, J. A. Peacock, A. D. Myers +3
We measure the average deflection of cosmic microwave background photons by quasars at . Our sample is selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to cover t…
Characterizing the WISE-selected Heavily Obscured Quasar Population with Optical Spectroscopy from the Southern African Large Telescope
R. E. Hviding, R. C. Hickox, K. N. Hainline +4
We present the results of an optical spectroscopic survey of 46 heavily obscured quasar candidates. Objects are selected using their mid-infrared (mid-IR) colours and magnitudes fr…
Do you see what I see? Exploring the consequences of luminosity limits in black hole-galaxy evolution studies
Mackenzie L. Jones, Ryan C. Hickox, Simon J. Mutch +3
In studies of the connection between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their host galaxies there is widespread disagreement on some key aspects stemming largely from a lack of under…
The Intrinsic Eddington Ratio Distribution of Active Galactic Nuclei in Star-forming Galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
M. L. Jones, R. C. Hickox, C. S. Black +3
An important question in extragalactic astronomy concerns the distribution of black hole accretion rates of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Based on observations at X-ray wavelengths…
A Tale of Two Narrow-Line Regions: Ionization, Kinematics, and Spectral Energy Distributions for a Local Pair of Merging Obscured Active Galaxies
Kevin N. Hainline, Ryan C. Hickox, Chien-Ting Chen +4
We explore the gas ionization and kinematics, as well as the optical--IR spectral energy distributions for UGC 11185, a nearby pair of merging galaxies hosting obscured active gala…
