Galaxy interactions are the dominant trigger for local type 2 quasars
J. C. S. Pierce, C. Tadhunter, C. Ramos Almeida +8
The triggering mechanism for the most luminous, quasar-like active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains a source of debate, with some studies favouring triggering via galaxy mergers, but…
BASS XXII: The BASS DR2 AGN Catalog and Data
Michael J. Koss, Claudio Ricci, Benny Trakhtenbrot +32
We present the AGN catalog and optical spectroscopy for the second data release of the Swift BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS DR2). With this DR2 release we provide 1425 optical…
Young stellar populations in type II quasars: timing the onset of star formation and nuclear activity
Patricia S Bessiere, Clive N Tadhunter, Cristina Ramos Almeida +2
Despite the emerging morphological evidence that luminous quasar-like AGN are triggered in galaxy mergers, the natures of the triggering mergers and the order of events in the trig…
