AGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملHigh - redshift galaxies , their active nuclei and central blackholesMartin
We demonstrate that the luminosity function of the recently detected population of actively star-forming galaxies at redshift three and the B-band QSO luminosity function at the same redshift can both be matched with the mass function of dark matter haloes predicted by standard variants of hierarchical cosmogonies for lifetimes of optically bright QSOs anywhere in the range 10 6 to 10 8 yr. The...
متن کاملThe Host Galaxies and Classification of Active Galactic Nuclei
We present an analysis of the host properties of 85224 emission-line galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We show that Seyferts and LINERs form clearly separated branches on the standard optical diagnostic diagrams. We derive a new empirical classification scheme which cleanly separates star-forming galaxies, composite AGN-H ii galaxies, Seyferts and LINERs and we study the host...
متن کاملDo LINER 2 galaxies harbour low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei?
We use ROSAT HRI spatial data and ASCA spectral measurements for a sample of seven nearby, early type spiral galaxies, to address the question of whether a lowluminosity Active Galactic Nucleus (LLAGN) is present in galaxies that have a LINER 2 classification. The brightest discrete X-ray source in the ROSAT HRI observations is invariably found to be positionally coincident with the optical gal...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Active Galactic Nuclei in Clusters of Galaxies
We present a study of the distribution of AGN in clusters of galaxies with a uniformly selected, spectroscopically complete sample of 35 AGN in eight clusters of galaxies at z = 0.06 → 0.31. We find that the 12 AGN with LX > 1042 erg s−1 in cluster members more luminous than a rest-frame MR < −20 mag are more centrally concentrated than typical cluster galaxies of this luminosity, although thes...
