TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the connection between different classes of active galactic nuclei and the evolution of their host galaxies, by deriving host galaxy properties, clustering, and Eddington ratios of AGNs selected in the radio, X-ray, and infrared (IR) wavebands.
Journal ArticleDOI
What drives the growth of black holes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the progress in addressing the key issues, motivated by the science presented at the What Drives the Growth of Black Holes? workshop held at Durham on 26 th ‐29 th July 2010, and discuss how these questions may be tackled with current and future facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining the intrinsic AGN infrared spectral energy distribution and measuring its contribution to the infrared output of composite galaxies
James Mullaney,James Mullaney,David M. Alexander,Andy D. Goulding,Andy D. Goulding,Ryan C. Hickox +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the intrinsic mid-to far-infrared spectral energy distribution (i.e. 6 −100 μm SED) of active galactic nuclei (hereafter AGNs) is defined and a set of correction factors are defined to convert either monochromatic infrared or X-ray luminosities into total SED.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absolute Measurement of the Unresolved Cosmic X-Ray Background in the 0.5-8 keV Band with Chandra
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the unresolved 0.5-8 keV cosmic X-ray background (CXB) in the Chandra Deep Fields (CDFs) North and South, the longest observations with Chandra (2 and 1 Ms, respectively).
Journal ArticleDOI
Active galactic nuclei: what’s in a name?
Paolo Padovani,David M. Alexander,Roberto J. Assef,B. De Marco,Paolo Giommi,Ryan C. Hickox,Gordon T. Richards,Vernesa Smolčić,Evanthia Hatziminaoglou,V. Mainieri,Mara Salvato +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of AGN multi-wavelength properties with the aim of painting their "big picture" through observations in each electromagnetic band from radio to gamma-gamma -rays as well as AGN variability.
