BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey -- XIII. The nature of the most luminous obscured AGN in the low-redshift universe
Rudolf E. Bär, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Kyuseok Oh +18
We present a multi wavelength analysis of 28 of the most luminous low-redshift narrow-line, ultra-hard X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) drawn from the 70 month Swift/BAT…
A Triple AGN in a Mid-Infrared Selected Late Stage Galaxy Merger
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Shobita Satyapal, Christina Manzano-King +11
The co-evolution of galaxies and the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at their centers via hierarchical galaxy mergers is a key prediction of CDM cosmology. As gas and dust are…
Buried Black Hole Growth in IR-selected Mergers: New Results from Chandra
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Shobita Satyapal, Nathan J. Secrest +8
Observations and theoretical simulations suggest that a significant fraction of merger-triggered accretion onto supermassive black holes is highly obscured, particularly in late-st…
