Seyfert Galaxies with Circumnuclear/nuclear Starbursts
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present our preliminary results on Seyfert galaxies with circumnuclear/nuclear starburst(SB) activity. We have searched the recent available literature and found 76 active galaxies with clear evidence of nuclear SB activity, among which 16 are Seyfert 1s, 51 Seyfert 2s, and 9 LINERs. After studying the 51 Seyfert 2s, we find that those Seyfert 2s with hidden Seyfert 1 nuclei, have similar Infrared-Radio properties as Seyfert 1 galaxies, and are different from ”real” Seyfert 2s without a hidden Seyfert 1 nucleus. The later are similar to starburst galaxies.

Galaxy Interaction and Starburst-seyfert Connection
Galaxy interactions are studied in terms of the starburst-Seyfert connection. The starburst requires a high rate of gas supply. Since the efficiency for supplying the gas is high in a galaxy interaction, although the companion is not necessarily discernible, Seyfert galaxies with circumnuclear starbursts are expected to be interacting. Since the large amounts of circumnuclear gas and dust obscu...
متن کاملExamining the Seyfert – Starburst Connection with Arcsecond Resolution Radio Continuum Observations
We compare the arcsecond-scale circumnuclear radio continuum properties between five Seyfert and five starburst galaxies, concentrating on the search for any structures that could imply a spatial or causal connection between the nuclear activity and a circumnuclear starburst ring. No evidence is found in the radio emission for a link between the triggering or feeding of nuclear activity and the...
متن کاملThe Starburst-AGN connection: Implications for the Unification of Seyferts
Observations at ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared wavelengths have shown the existence of recent star formation in the nuclear regions of Seyfert 2 (Sy2) galaxies that suggest a connection between the Starburst and the Seyfert phenomenon. According with the standard unified models of AGN circumnuclear starbursts also have to be present (and in the same numbers) in Sy1 as in Sy2 galaxies. T...
متن کاملFormation of Obscuring Walls by Radiation Force from Circumnuclear Starbursts and Implications for Starburst-active Galactic Nucleus Connection
We explore the formation of dusty gas walls induced by a circumnuclear starburst around an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We concentrate our attention on the role of the radiation force by a starburst as well as an AGN, where the effects of optical depth of dusty gas are taken into consideration. First, we solve the hydrostatic equations in spherical symmetry coupled with the frequency-dependen...
متن کاملObscuration of Active Galactic Nuclei by Circumnuclear Starbursts
We examine the possibility of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) obscuration by dusty gas clouds that spurt out from circumnuclear starburst regions. For the purpose, the dynamical evolution of gas clouds is pursued, including the effects of radiation forces by an AGN as well as a starburst. Here, we solve the radiative transfer equations for clouds, taking into consideration the growth of cloud...
