Decomposition of AGN host galaxy images
We describe an algorithm to decompose deep images of Active Galactic Nuclei into host galaxy and nuclear components. Currently supported are three galaxy models: A de-Vaucouleurs spheroidal, an exponential disc, and a two-component disc+bulge model. Key features of the method are: (semi-)analytic representation of a possibly spatially variable point-spread function; full two-dimensional convolu...
متن کاملAgn Host Galaxy Morphologies in Cosmos
We use HST/ACS images and a photometric catalog of the COSMOS field to analyze morphologies of the host galaxies of ∼400 AGN candidates at redshifts 0.3 < z < 1.0. We compare the AGN hosts with a sample of non-active galaxies drawn from the COSMOS field to match the magnitude and redshift distribution of the AGN hosts. We perform 2-D surface brightness modeling with GALFIT to yield host galaxy ...
متن کاملAGN/galaxy separation in the ROSAT Bright Survey
The X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of galaxies is dominated by AGN (classified by their optical spectra) above Lx = 10 42 erg s , below this value by normal galaxies. The X-ray flux of AGN at low X-ray luminosity therefore contains contributions from stellar processes (winds, supernova explosions etc.). Until now it is not clear which fraction of the observed X-ray flux has to be associated to...
متن کاملThe Swift Gamma-ray Burst Host Galaxy Legacy Survey. I. Sample Selection and Redshift Distribution
We introduce the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxy Legacy Survey (“SHOALS”), a multiobservatory high-redshift galaxy survey targeting the largest unbiased sample of long-duration gammaray burst hosts yet assembled (119 in total). We describe the motivations of the survey and the development of our selection criteria, including an assessment of the impact of various observability metrics on the ...
متن کاملA multi – wavelength study of the IRAS Deep Survey galaxy sample
A multi–wavelength study of the IRAS Deep Survey galaxy sample II. The far-IR properties. ABSTRACT Context. The luminosity function (LF) is a basic tool in the study of galaxy evolution since it constrains galaxy formation models. The earliest LF estimates in the IR and far-IR spectral ranges seem to suggest strong evolution. Deeper samples are needed to confirm these predictions. We have a use...
