On the Role of Minor Galaxy Mergers in the Formation of Active Galactic Nuclei.
The large-scale ( approximately 100 kpc) environments of Seyfert galaxies are not significantly different from those of non-Seyfert galaxies. In the context of the interaction model of the formation of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), it has thus been proposed that AGNs form via "minor mergers" of large disk galaxies with smaller companions. We test this hypothesis by comparing the nuclear spectr...
متن کاملActive Galactic Nuclei and Massive Galaxy Cores
Self-consistent N-body simulations have been performed in order to study the effects of a central active galactic nucleus (AGN) on the dark matter profile of a typical giant elliptical galaxy. In our analysis, we assume that periodic bipolar outbursts from a central AGN can induce harmonic oscillatory motions on both sides of the gas core. Using realistic AGN properties, we find that the motion...
متن کاملSpatially-resolved Narrow Line Region Kinematics in Active Galactic Nuclei
We have analyzed Hubble Space Telescope spectroscopy of 24 nearby Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) to investigate spatially-resolved gas kinematics in the Narrow Line Region (NLR). These observations effectively isolate the nuclear line profiles on less than 100 parsec scales and are used to investigate the origin of the substantial scatter between the widths of strong NLR lines and the stellar ve...
متن کاملActive Galactic Nuclei in the CNOC2 Field Galaxy Redshift Survey
We present a sample of 47 confirmed and 14 candidate Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) discovered in the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology field galaxy redshift survey (CNOC2). The sample consists of 38 objects identified from broad emission lines, 8 from narrow [Nev] emission, and 15 candidates from Fe ii or Mg ii absorption lines, one of which has been confirmed as a broad-line AGN via ...
متن کاملThe Black Hole-Host Galaxy Relation in Active Galactic Nuclei
The masses of the central black holes of Active Galactic Nuclei estimated by the reverberation virial technique seem to be significantly smaller than predicted from the black hole mass-bulge luminosity relation for massive black holes detected by kinematic methods in less active and normal galaxies. We reexamine the relation for updated data and suggest a few reasons that may cause this discrep...
