Interactions, star formation and AGN activity
It has long been known that galaxy interactions are associated with enhanced star formation. In a companion paper, we explored this connection by applying a variety of statistics to SDSS data. In particular, we showed that specific star formation rates of galaxies are higher if they have close neighbours. Here we apply exactly the same techniques to AGN in the survey, showing that close neighbo...
متن کاملNuclear Dynamics and Star Formation of AGN
We are using adaptive optics on Keck and the VLT to probe the dynamics and star formation in Seyfert and QSO nuclei, obtaining spatial resolutions better than 0.1′′ in the Hand K-bands. The dynamics are traced via the 2.12 μm H2 1-0 S(1) line, while the stellar cluster is traced through the CO 2-0 and 6-3 absorption bandheads at 2.29 μm and 1.62 μm respectively. Matching disk models to the H2 r...
متن کاملDo Moderate-luminosity Agn Suppress Star Formation?
The growth of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies are thought to be linked, but the precise nature of this symbiotic relationship is still poorly understood. Both observations and simulations of galaxy formation suggest that the energy input from active galactic nuclei (AGN), as the central supermassive black hole accretes material and grows, heats the interstellar material and sup...
متن کاملThe link between radio AGN activity and star formation
We analyze the optical spectra of massive (log M∗/M⊙ > 11.4) radio-loud galaxies at z ∼ 0.2 and z ∼ 0.6. Our samples are generated by crossmatching the SDSS DR7 and BOSS spectroscopic galaxy catalogues with the FIRST and NVSS radio continuum surveys. By comparing stellar population parameters of these radio-loud samples with radio-quiet control samples matched in stellar mass, velocity dispersi...
متن کاملStar Formation and Dynamics in the nuclei of AGN
Using adaptive optics on Keck and the VLT in the Hand K-bands, we have begun a project to probe the dynamics and star formation around AGN on scales of 0.1′′. The stellar content of the nucleus is traced through the 2.29 μm CO2-0 and 1.62μm CO6-3 absorption bandheads. These features are directly spatially resolved, allowing us to measure the extent and distribution of the nuclear star forming r...
