Type II Quasars from the SDSS
Type II quasars are suggested by unification models of Active Galactic Nuclei as luminous analogs of Seyfert 2 galaxies. A number of different methods have been used hitherto to discover type II quasars, but only a handful have been found. We selected about 150 type II quasar candidates from the SDSS spectroscopic database; these objects have strong narrow high-ionization emission lines. We des...
متن کاملHigh Redshift Quasars and Star Formation History
Quasars are among the most luminous objects in the universe , and they can be studied in detail up to the highest known redshift. Assuming that the gas associated with quasars is closely related to the interstellar medium of the host galaxy, quasars can be used as tracer of the star formation history in the early universe. We have observed a small sample of quasars at redshifts 3 ∼ < z ∼ < 5 an...
متن کاملSDSS Quasars and Dust Reddening
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey can be used to detect and characterize red and reddened quasars. In Richards et al. (2003), we showed that 6% of SDSS quasars have red colors consistent with significant dust reddening by an extinction curve similar to that of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We estimate that a further 10% of the luminous quasar population is missing from our magnitude-limited SDSS...
متن کاملStar formation and AGN activity in SDSS cluster galaxies
We investigate the recent and current star formation activity of galaxies as function of distance from the cluster center in a sample of 521 SDSS clusters at z < 0.1. We characterize the recent star formation history by the strength of the 4000Å break and the strength of the Balmer absorption lines, and thus probe the star formation history over the last ∼ 2Gyr. We show that when the Brightest ...
متن کاملStar Formation Rate and Environment in the Sdss-dr4
We investigate the environmental dependence of galaxies with the star formation rate (SFR) in a complete volume limited sample of 91566 galaxies, in the redshift range 0.05 ≤ z ≤ 0.095, and with Mr = −20.0 (that is M∗ + 1.45), selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 (SDSS-DR4). The environment is characterized by the local number density of galaxies, defined by the parameter Σ...
