Spatially Offset Active Galactic Nuclei III: Discovery of Late-Stage Galaxy Mergers with The Hubble Space Telescope
R. Scott Barrows, Julia M. Comerford, Jenny E. Greene
Galaxy pairs with separations of only a few kpc represent important stages in the merger-driven growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). However, such mergers are difficult to i…
An Active Galactic Nucleus Caught in the Act of Turning Off and On
Julia M. Comerford, R. Scott Barrows, Francisco Müller-Sánchez +5
We present the discovery of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) that is turning off and then on again in the z=0.06 galaxy SDSS J1354+1327. This episodic nuclear activity is the resul…
Shocks and Spatially Offset Active Galactic Nuclei Produce Velocity Offsets in Emission Lines
Julia M. Comerford, R. Scott Barrows, Jenny E. Greene +1
While 2% of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) exhibit narrow emission lines with line-of-sight velocities that are significantly offset from the velocity of the host galaxy's stars, th…
