Journal Article
Suh, H., Civano, F., Hasinger, G., Lusso, E., Lanzuisi, G., Marchesi, S., …Vignali, C. (2017). Type 2 AGN Host Galaxies in the Chandra-COSMOS Legacy Survey: No Evidence of AGN-driven Quenching. Astrophysical Journal, 841(2), Article 102. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa725c

We investigate the star formation properties of a large sample of ~2300 X-ray-selected Type 2 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) host galaxies out to $z\sim 3$ in the Chandra COSMOS Legacy Survey in order to understand the connection between the star form...

AGNfitter: a Bayesian MCMC approach to fitting spectral energy distributions of AGNs (2016)
Journal Article
Calistro Rivera, G., Lusso, E., Hennawi, J. F., & Hogg, D. W. (2016). AGNfitter: a Bayesian MCMC approach to fitting spectral energy distributions of AGNs. Astrophysical Journal, 833(1), Article 98. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/833/1/98

We present AGNfitter, a publicly available open-source algorithm implementing a fully Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to fit the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the submillimeter to the UV, allowing...

A Hubble diagram for quasars (2015)
Journal Article
Risaliti, G., & Lusso, E. (2015). A Hubble diagram for quasars. Astrophysical Journal, 815(1), Article 33. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/815/1/33

We present a new method to test the ΛCDM cosmological model and to estimate cosmological parameters based on the nonlinear relation between the ultraviolet and X-ray luminosities of quasars. We built a data set of 1138 quasars by merging several samp... Read More about A Hubble diagram for quasars.
