An AGN Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram
نویسنده
چکیده
Detailed examination of the balance between star-formation and nuclear activity in AGN and starburst galaxies leads to the composition of an Hertzsprung-Russell diagram in which possible evolutionary tracks can be drawn. It is likely that these tracks also relate to the level of obscuration.

Star-Forming AGN Host Galaxies
The symbiosis of nuclear activity and star-formation in galaxies, as manifested in their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) is reviewed. Attention is drawn to an Hertzsprung-Russell diagram-equivalent for such objects, as well as to the importance of the SEDs in cosmological context.
متن کاملThe spectroscopic Hertzsprung-Russell diagram
Context. The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is a key diagnostic diagram for stellar structure and evolution, which is now in use for more than 100 years. Aims. We introduce a new diagram which is based on the gravity-effective temperature diagram, but has various advantages. Methods. Our spectroscopic Hertzsprung-Russell (sHR) diagram shows the inverse of the flux-mean gravity versus the effective...
متن کاملDynamic Tides in Close Binaries
The basic theory of dynamic tides in close binaries is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to resonances between dynamic tides and free oscillation modes and to the role of the apsidal-motion rate in probing the internal structure of binary components. The discussed effects are generally applicable to stars across the entire Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, including the binary OB-stars discusse...
متن کاملASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS An Attempt to Pin Down the Instability Domain of Long-Period Variables
The period-luminosity relation of Miras and semiregular variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud and in the Galaxy is used to locate their instability domain in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. We take advantage of the considerable width in luminosity of the relation at given period to assign masses to the observed long-period variables using stellar models on the the asymptotic giant branch and...
