A Luminous Transient Event in a Sample of WISE-selected Variable AGNs
Roberto J. Assef,J. L. Prieto,Daniel Stern,Roc Cutri,Peter Eisenhardt,Matthew J. Graham,Hyunsung David Jun,Armin Rest,H. Flewelling,Nick Kaiser,R. P. Kudritzki,C. L. Waters +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, Assef et al. presented two catalogs of active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates over 30,093 deg(2) selected from the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observations and studied their optical light curves using observations from the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey (CRTS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Duncan Farrah,Sara Petty,Brian Connolly,Andrew Blain,Andreas Efstathiou,Mark Lacy,Daniel Stern,Sean E. Lake,Thomas H. Jarrett,Carrie Bridge,Peter Eisenhardt,Dominic J. Benford,Suzy Jones,Chao-Wei Tsai,Roberto J. Assef,Jingwen Wu,Leonidas A. Moustakas +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the infrared spectral energy distributions for 12 extremely luminous, obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at 1.8 < z < 2.7.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extending the Nearby Galaxy Heritage with WISE: First Results from the WISE Enhanced Resolution Galaxy Atlas
Thomas Jarrett,Thomas Jarrett,Frank J. Masci,Chao-Wei Tsai,Sara Petty,Michelle E. Cluver,Roberto J. Assef,Dominic J. Benford,Andrew Blain,Carrie Bridge,Emilio Donoso,Peter Eisenhardt,Bärbel S. Koribalski,S. Lake,James D. Neill,Mark Seibert,Kartik Sheth,Spencer A. Stanford,Edward L. Wright +18 more
TL;DR: The WISE Enhanced Resolution Galaxy Atlas (WERGA) project as discussed by the authors has been proposed to fully characterize large, nearby galaxies and produce a legacy image atlas and source catalogue, which includes many well-studied galaxies such as M51, M81, M83, M87, M101, IC342.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Multiple Merger Assembly of a Hyper-luminous Obscured Quasar at redshift 4.6
Tanio Díaz-Santos,Roberto J. Assef,Andrew Blain,Manuel Aravena,D. Stern,C. W. Tsai,Peter Eisenhardt,Jingwen Wu,H. D. Jun,K. Dibert,Hanae Inami,George B. Lansbury,F. Leclercq +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, spectroscopic imaging of a multiple merger event in the most luminous known galaxy, WISE J224607.9 (W2246-0526), a dust-obscured quasar at redshift 4.6, 1.3 Gyr after the Big Bang, was reported.

TL;DR: The Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST) as discussed by the authors is a set of mission concepts for the next generation of UVOIR space observatory with a primary aperture diameter in the 8-m to 16-m range that will allow us to perform some of the most challenging observations to answer some of our most compelling questions.
