چکیده

We analyze the physical properties of post-starburst AGN SDSS J085338.27+033246.1 according to its optical spectrum and discuss its implications on AGN's evolution. The spectra PCA method is developed to extract emission lines and absorption features from the total light spectrum. The emission-line analysis indicates that the object can be classified as a NLS1 with FeII/Hβ B = 2.4 ± 0.2, large Eddington ratio (∼ 0.34), small black hole mass (∼ 1.1 × 10 7 M ⊙) and intermediately strong radio emission. A simple SSP model indicates that the absorption features are reproduced by a ∼100 Myr old starburst with a mass of ∼ 7 × 10 9 M ⊙ rather well. The current SFR ∼ 3.0M ⊙ yr −1 inferred from the [OII] emission is much smaller than the past average SFR∼ 70M ⊙ yr −1 , however. The line ratio diagnosis using the BPT diagrams indicates that the narrow emission lines are almost entirely emitted from HII regions. We further discuss a possible evolutionary path that links AGN and starburst phenomena.

Three Spectacular HII-buried-AGN Galaxies from SDSS

We present our analysis of the three HII-buried-AGN: SDSS J091053+333008, SDSS J121837+091324, and SDSS J153002-020415, by studying their optical spectra extracted from SDSS. The location in the BPT diagnostic diagrams of the three galaxies indicates that the narrow emission lines are mainly exited from HII regions. However, after the removal of the host galaxy’s stellar emission, the emission ...

The Cambridge-cambridge Rosat Serendipity Survey { Ii. Classiication of X-ray Luminous Galaxies

We present the results of an intermediate-resolution (1.5 A) spectroscopic study of 17 X-ray luminous narrow emission-line galaxies previously identiied in the Cambridge-Cambridge ROSAT Serendipity Survey and the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey. Emission-line ratios reveal that the sample is composed of ten Seyfert and seven starburst galaxies. Measured linewidths for the narrow H e...

A Spectacular Post-starburst Quasar

We report the discovery of a spectacular “post-starburst quasar” UN J1025−0040 (B = 19; z = 0.634). The optical spectrum is a chimera, displaying the broad Mg II λ2800 emission line and strong blue continuum characteristic of quasars, but is dominated in the red by a large Balmer jump and prominent high-order Balmer absorption lines indicative of a substantial young stellar population at simila...

Far-infrared Census of Starburst-seyfert Connection

Far-infrared flux densities are newly extracted from the IRAS database for the RSA and CfA complete samples of Seyfert galaxies. These data are used to classify the Seyfert galaxies into those where the far-infrared continuum emission is dominated by the active galactic nucleus (AGN), circumnuclear starburst, or host galaxy. While AGN-dominant objects consist of comparable numbers of Seyfert 1 ...

A Search for “dwarf” Seyfert Nuclei. Vi. Properties of Emission-line Nuclei in Nearby Galaxies

We use the database from Paper III to quantify the global and nuclear properties of emission-line nuclei in the Palomar spectroscopic survey of nearby galaxies. We show that the host galaxies of Seyferts, LINERs, and transition objects share remarkably similar large-scale properties and local environments. The distinguishing traits emerge on nuclear scales. Compared with LINERs, Seyfert nuclei ...
