Understanding AGN - Host Connection in Partially Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei . Part I : The Nature of AGN + HII Composites
The goal of our serial papers is to examine the evolutionary connection between AGN and star formation in its host galaxy in the partially obscured AGNs (i.e., Seyfert 1.8 and 1.9 galaxies). Taking advantage of these galaxies, the properties of both components can be studied together by direct measurements. In this paper, we focus on the broad-line composite galaxies (composite AGNs) which are ...
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 کاملObscured Active Galactic Nuclei and Obscured Accretion
Most of the local active galactic nucleus (AGN) population is obscured and much of the Xray background originates in obscured AGNs. The contribution of obscured accretion to the growth of massive black holes is discussed here. The recent identification of significant samples of the X-ray sources that dominate the X-ray background intensity has shown a redshift peak at 0.7–0.8, rather than the r...
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...
متن کاملFuelling Active Galactic Nuclei
We suggest that most nearby active galactic nuclei are fed by a series of small– scale, randomly–oriented accretion events. Outside a certain radius these events promote rapid star formation, while within it they fuel the supermassive black hole. We show that the events have a characteristic time evolution. This picture agrees with several observational facts. The expected luminosity function i...
