Post-starburst–AGN Connection: Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of Hδ-Strong AGNs
Ever since the co-existence of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and a starburst was observationally discovered, there has been a significant controversy over whether there is a physical connection between starbursts and AGNs. If yes, it is a subject of interest to reveal which one triggers another. Here we bring a unique insight onto the subject by identifying 840 galaxies with both a post-star...
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 کاملNear IR Spectroscopy of Active Galactic Nuclei . ⋆
Using the VLT together with the near infrared instrument ISAAC, we have obtained medium spectral and high spatial resolution observations of a sample of nearby Seyfert galaxies in the H-band. This band is particularly suited for stellar population studies since the stellar component dominates over the AGN nucleus. The H-band also includes the peak contribution from cool stars. The AGN spectra a...
متن کاملObscured Active Galactic Nuclei
The properties of the absorption in type 2, narrow line AGNs are reviewed by focusing on the X-ray indicators. I discuss the properties of the cold absorbing medium (the putative torus) and of the reprocessed components, as well as their implications for the unified model. The relation between optical classification and X-ray absorption is examined. The case of “fossil” AGNs, whose type 2 class...
متن کاملNaked active galactic nuclei
In this paper we report the discovery of a new class of active galactic nucleus in which although the nucleus is viewed directly, no broad emission lines are present. The results are based on a survey for AGN in which a sample of about 800 quasars and emission line galaxies were monitored yearly for 25 years. Among the emission line galaxies was the expected population of Seyfert 2 galaxies wit...
