Journal ArticleDOI
Studying the [O iii]λ5007 Å emission-line width in a sample of ∼ 80 local active galaxies: a surrogate for σ⋆?
Vardha N. Bennert,Donald Loveland,Edward Donohue,Maren Cosens,Sean Lewis,S. Komossa,Tommaso Treu,Matthew A. Malkan,Nathan Milgram,Kelsi Flatland,Matthew W. Auger,Daesong Park,Mariana S. Lazarova +12 more
TL;DR: Bennert et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the profile of the [OIII]$\lambda$5007A emission line to test the validity of using its width as a surrogate for the magnitude of a star.
Journal ArticleDOI
A significant excess in major merger rate for AGNs with the highest Eddington ratios at z<0.2
V. Marian,Knud Jahnke,Irham Taufik Andika,Eduardo Bañados,Vardha N. Bennert,Seth H. Cohen,Bernd Husemann,Melanie Kaasinen,Anton M. Koekemoer,M. Mechtley,M. Onoue,Jan Torge Schindler,M. Schramm,Andreas Schulze,John D. Silverman,I. Smirnova-Pinchukova,A. van der Wel,Carolin Villforth,Rogier A. Windhorst +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the connection between major mergers and AGN with the highest Eddington ratios at z = 2, and 25 mass and redshift matched control galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Where Do Quasar Hosts Lie with Respect to the Size–Mass Relation of Galaxies?
John D. Silverman,Tommaso Treu,Xuheng Ding,Knud Jahnke,Vardha N. Bennert,Simon Birrer,Malte Schramm,Andreas Schulze,Jeyhan S. Kartaltepe,David B. Sanders,Renyue Cen +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the galaxy size - stellar mass relation of 32 broad-line AGN hosts at 1.2 − 0.3 - 1 x 10−11 µm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatially-Resolved Spectra of the "Teacup" AGN: Tracing the History of a Dying Quasar
J. P. Gagne,D. M. Crenshaw,S. B. Kraemer,H. R. Schmitt,William C. Keel,S. Rafter,Travis Fischer,Vardha N. Bennert,Kevin Schawinski +8 more
TL;DR: The Teacup Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) was discovered in the SDSS Galaxy Zoo project as mentioned in this paper, which has a handle-like structure protruding 15 kpc into the northeast quadrant of the galaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS) - Mrk 1018 returns to the shadows after 30 years as a Seyfert 1
Rebecca McElroy,Bernd Husemann,Scott M. Croom,Timothy A. Davis,Vardha N. Bennert,Gerold Busch,Francoise Combes,Andreas Eckart,Andreas Eckart,Miguel A. Pérez-Torres,M. Powell,Julia Scharwächter,Grant R. Tremblay,Tanya Urrutia +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the discovery that the known ''changing look'' AGN Mrk 1018 has changed spectral type for a second time and used spectral fitting of the MUSE spectrum and previously available spectra to determine the drop in broad line flux and the Balmer decrement.
