Abstract:
We present a catalog of physical properties for galaxies hosting
active galactic nuclei (AGN) detected by the Wide-field Infrared
Survey Explorer (WISE). By fitting broadband spectral energy
distributions of sources in the WISE AGN Catalog with empirical galaxy
and AGN templates, we derive photometric redshifts, AGN bolometric
luminosities, measures of AGN obscuration, host galaxy stellar masses,
and host galaxy star formation rates (SFRs) for 695,273 WISE AGN. The
wide-area nature of this catalog significantly augments the known
number of obscured AGN out to redshifts z∼3 and will be useful for
studies focused on AGN or their host galaxy physical properties. We
first show that the most likely non-AGN contaminants are galaxies at
redshifts z=0.2-0.3, with relatively blue W1-W2 colors, and with high
specific SFRs for which the dust continuum emission is elevated in the
W2 filter. Toward increasingly lower redshifts, WISE AGN host galaxies
have systematically lower specific SFRs relative to those of normal
star-forming galaxies, likely due to decreased cold gas fractions and
the time delay between global star formation and AGN triggering.
Finally, WISE AGN obscuration is not strongly correlated with AGN
bolometric luminosity but shows a significant negative correlation
with the Eddington ratio. This result is consistent with a version of
the receding torus model in which the obscuring material is located
within the supermassive black hole gravitational sphere of influence
and the dust inner radius increases due to radiation pressure.
Description:
The parent sample is derived from the WISE AGN Catalog
(Assef+ 2018, J/ApJS/234/23).
We use photometric coverage from five additional major astronomical
surveys: the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), the Sloan Digital Sky
Survey Data Release 14 (SDSS DR14), Gaia DR2, the Panoramic Survey
Telescope and Rapid Response System DR2 (Pan-STARRS2), and the Two
Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Point Source Catalog. See Section 2.1.
