Indicators of Intrinsic Active Galactic Nucleus Luminosity: A Multi-Wavelength Approach

Abstract: Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) consist of an accretion disk around a supermassive black hole which is in turn surrounded by an obscuring torus of dust and gas. As the resulting geometry of this system affects the observable properties, quantifying isotropic indicators of intrinsic AGN luminosity is important in selecting unbiased samples of AGN. In this paper we consider five such proxies: the luminosities of the [OIII]λ5007 line, the [OIV]25.89µm line, the mid-infrared (MIR) continuum emission by the torus, and… Show more

“…Also, as it is formed in the narrow-line (Heckman et al 2005;Meléndez et al 2008;Rigby et al 2009;Diamond-Stanic et al 2009;LaMassa et al 2010). However, in a majority of our spectra, this feature was not significant above the noise.…”

“…As discussed in LaMassa et al (2009) Spinoglio & Malkan 1989;Heckman et al 2005;LaMassa et al 2010), these Sy2 samples should to first order represent unbiased views of the AGN population. The [O iii] sample has optical spectroscopy from SDSS, whereas the optical data for the majority of the 12 μm sample were based on literature values.…”
