Aims. Submillimetre-selected galaxies (SMGs) at high redshift (z ∼ 2) are potential host galaxies of active galactic nuclei (AGN). If the local Universe is a good guide, ∼50% of the obscured AGN amongst the SMG population could be missed even in the... Read More about Searching for obscured AGN in z ∼ 2 submillimetre galaxies.

A binning-free method reveals a continuous relationship between galaxies’ AGN power and offset from main sequence (2020)
Journal Article
Walters, K., Masoura, V., Stanley, F., Alexander, D., Harrison, C., Bernhard, E., Mullaney, J., & Grimmett, L. (2020). A binning-free method reveals a continuous relationship between galaxies’ AGN power and offset from main sequence. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 495(1), 1392-1402. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa1255

Studies investigating the relationship between AGN power and the star formation rates (SFRs) of their host galaxies often rely on averaging techniques – such as stacking – to incorporate information from non-detections. However, averages, and especia... Read More about A binning-free method reveals a continuous relationship between galaxies’ AGN power and offset from main sequence.
