BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey. XI. The Covering Factor of Dust and Gas in Swift/BAT Active Galactic Nuclei
Ueda, Yoshihiro; Kawamuro, Taiki; Ricci, Claudio +10 more
We quantify the luminosity contribution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to the 12 µm, mid-infrared (MIR; 5-38 µm), and total IR (5-1000 µm) emission in the local AGNs detected in the all-sky 70 month Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) ultrahard X-ray survey. We decompose the IR spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 587 objects …
Prevalence of SED Turndown among Classical Be Stars: Are All Be Stars Close Binaries?
Hallinan, G.; Klement, Robert; Carciofi, A. C. +16 more
Rapid rotation is a fundamental characteristic of classical Be stars and a crucial property allowing for the formation of their circumstellar disks. Past evolution in a mass and angular momentum transferring binary system offers a plausible solution to how Be stars attained their fast rotation. Although the subdwarf remnants of mass donors in such…
Multiple Spiral Arms in the Disk around Intermediate-mass Binary HD 34700A
Monnier, John D.; Kraus, Stefan; Oppenheimer, Rebecca +14 more
We present the first images of the transition disk around the close binary system HD 34700A in polarized scattered light using the Gemini Planet Imager instrument on Gemini South. The J- and H-band images reveal multiple spiral-arm structures outside a large (R = 0.″49 = 175 au) cavity, along with a bluish spiral structure inside the cavity. The c…
Planck Far-infrared Detection of Hyper Suprime-Cam Protoclusters at z ∼ 4: Hidden AGN and Star Formation Activity
Ono, Yoshiaki; Goto, Tomotsugu; Kodama, Tadayuki +11 more
We perform a stacking analysis of Planck, AKARI, Infrared Astronomical Satellite, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, and Herschel images of the largest number of (candidate) protoclusters at z ∼ 3.8 selected from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program. Stacking the images of the 179 candidate protoclusters, the combined infrared (IR) emi…
Broadband Spectral Energy Distributions of SDSS-selected Quasars and of Their Host Galaxies: Intense Activity at the Onset of AGN Feedback
Lapi, Andrea; Gilli, Roberto; Baccigalupi, Carlo +3 more
We present the mean spectral energy distribution (SED) of a sample of optically selected quasars (QSOs) at redshifts of 1 ≤ z ≤ 5. To derive it, we exploit photometric information from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey, and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer surveys in combination with a stacking analysis of Herschel, A…
FUGIN: Molecular Gas in Spitzer Bubble N4—Possible Evidence for a Cloud-Cloud Collision as a Trigger of Massive Star Formations
Yamagishi, Mitsuyoshi; Kuno, Nario; Tachihara, Kengo +17 more
Herein, we present 12CO (J = 1-0) and 13CO (J = 1-0) emission-line observations via the FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope (FUGIN) toward Spitzer bubble N4. We observed clouds at three discrete velocities: 16, 19, and 25 km s-1. Their masses were 0.1 × 104 M
New Spatially Resolved Imaging of the SR 21 Transition Disk and Constraints on the Small-grain Disk Geometry
van der Marel, N.; Ireland, M. J.; Puglisi, A. +9 more
We present new 0.6-4 µm imaging of the SR 21 transition disk from Keck/NIRC2 and Magellan/MagAO. The protoplanetary disk around SR 21 has a large (∼30-40 au) clearing first inferred from its spectral energy distribution and later detected in submillimeter imaging. Both the gas and small dust grains are known to have a different morphology, w…
Torus Constraints in ANEPD-CXO245: A Compton-thick AGN with Double-peaked Narrow Lines
Goto, Tomotsugu; Burgarella, Denis; Tanimoto, Atsushi +18 more
We report on the torus constraints of the Compton-thick active galactic nucleus (AGN) with double-peaked optical narrow-line region emission lines, ANEPD-CXO245, at z = 0.449 in the AKARI NEP Deep Field. The unique infrared data on this field, including those from the nine-band photometry over 2-24 µm with the AKARI Infrared Camera, and the …
Investigating Early-type Galaxy Evolution with a Multiwavelength Approach. III. Insights from SPH Simulations with Chemophotometric Implementation
Mazzei, Paola; Rampazzo, Roberto; Marino, Antonietta +3 more
We are exploring galaxy evolution in low-density environments exploiting smooth particle hydrodynamic simulations, including chemophotometric implementation. From a large grid of simulations of galaxy encounters and mergers starting from triaxial halos of gas and dark matter, we single out the simulations matching the global properties of our targ…
A Mini Survey of Methyl Cyanide toward Extended Green Objects
Liu, Sheng-Yuan; Chen, Huei-Ru; Su, Yu-Nung +4 more
We present results of a survey of methyl cyanide (CH3CN) J = 12-11 toward 56 sources, including 35 Extended Green Objects (EGOs) and 21 nearby AKARI counterparts, with the Submillimeter Telescope (SMT) in order to characterize the nature of EGOs. CH3CN, a tracer of hot core emission, is detected in 19 EGOs (∼54%) and five AKA…
