Mid-infrared Spectra of Optically Selected Type 2 Quasars
Type 2 quasars are luminous Active Galactic Nuclei whose central engines are seen through large amounts of gas and dust. We present Spitzer spectra of twelve type 2 quasars selected on the basis of their optical emission line properties. Within this sample, we find a surprising diversity of spectra, from those that are featureless to those showing strong PAH emission, deep silicate absorption a...
متن کاملThe Near-infrared Variability of a Sample of Optically Selected Quasars
A complete sample of 108 optically selected quasars, the Palomar-Green quasars, has been studied at near-infrared wavelengths over an average time base of about 6 yr; in some cases the time base extends to 20 yr. The measurements show that about half the quasars have a high probability of having varied, but that half show little evidence of variability, in sharp contrast to published studies in...
متن کاملMid-Infrared Spectroscopic Properties of Ultra-Luminous Infrared Quasars
We analyse mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopic properties for 19 ultra-luminous infrared quasars (IR QSOs) in the local universe based on the spectra from the Infrared Spectrograph on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. The MIR properties of IR QSOs are compared with those of optically-selected Palomar-Green QSOs (PG QSOs) and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). The average MIR spectral featu...
متن کاملSpace Density of Optically-Selected Type 2 Quasars
Type 2 quasars are luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN) whose central regions are obscured by large amounts of gas and dust. In this paper, we present a catalog of type 2 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), selected based on their optical emission lines. The catalog contains 887 objects with redshifts z < 0.83; this is six times larger than the previous version and is by far the ...
متن کاملTo appear in ApJ Dust in an extremely metal-poor galaxy: mid-infrared observations of SBS
The metal deficient (Z = Z⊙/41) Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy (BCD) SBS0335-052 was observed with ISOCAM between 5 and 17μm. With a L12μm/LB ratio of 2.15, the galaxy is unexpectedly bright in the mid-infrared for such a low-metallicity object. The mid-infrared spectrum shows no sign of the Unidentified Infrared Bands, which we interpret as an effect of the destruction of their carriers by the very...
