MID-INFRARED SELECTION OF ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI WITH THE WIDE-FIELD INFRARED SURVEY EXPLORER. I. CHARACTERIZING WISE-SELECTED ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI IN COSMOS (2012, background): “…of research using mid-infrared observations to find and study (obscured) AGN at high redshift (e.g., Lacy et al. 2004, 2007; Stern et al. 2005; Alonso-Herrero et al. 2006; Barmby et al. 2006; Mart́ınez-Sansigre et al. 2006, 2007; Donley et al. 2007, 2008, 2012; Dey et al. 2008; Fiore et al.…”
What drives the growth of black holes (2011, background): “…where the absorbing column densities are so high that not even X-ray photons can escape (e.g., Lacy et al., 2004; Stern et al., 2005; Donley et al., 2005, 2008; Alonso-Herrero et al., 2006; Daddi et al., 2007a; Hickox et al., 2007; Fiore et al., 2008, 2009; Bauer et al., 2010; Luo et al., 2011).”
CANDELS: THE COSMIC ASSEMBLY NEAR-INFRARED DEEP EXTRAGALACTIC LEGACY SURVEY (2011, unknown): “Between 20 and 50% of z ≈ 2 galaxies may host a Comptonthick AGNs undetected in X-rays (Daddi et al. 2007a) but appearing as luminous IR power-law SEDs in Spitzer and Herschel data (Alonso-Herrero et al. 2006; Donley et al. 2008, Juneau & Dickinson, in prep.).”
Swift BAT Survey of AGNs (2007, background): “While the distribution of column densities is under intensive investigation, it is clear from both X-ray (Tozzi et al. 2006; Cappi et al. 2006) and IR data (Alonso-Herrero et al. 2006) that a large fraction of AGNs have column densities greater than 3 ; 1022 cm 2 in the line of sight.”
Spitzer Observations of Massive, Red Galaxies at High Redshift (2005, background): “Alonso-Herrero et al. (2006) find that as many as 50% of MIPS 24 m sources with red IRAC colors are not detected in the deep X-ray data.”
Deep Spitzer 24 μm COSMOS Imaging. I. The Evolution of Luminous Dusty Galaxies—Confronting the Models (2009, background): “…have played a key role in driving the coeval growth of bulges and super-massive black holes but whose contribution is usually underestimated by surveys performed at other wavelengths (e.g., Houck et al. 2005; Polletta et al. 2006; Alonso-Herrero et al. 2006; Dey et al. 2008; Fiore et al. 2008).”
THE STELLAR MASS CONTENT OF SUBMILLIMETER-SELECTED GALAXIES (2010, background): “…star-forming galaxies (e.g., Lu et al. 2003), which can be described by graybody emission at temperatures∼ 1000 K. 56% of our sample also meet the criterion of Alonso-Herrero et al. (2006) for IRAC power-law galaxies (PLGs; power law slopeα > 0.5), which those authors consider to be obscured AGNs.”
Star Formation and the Growth of Stellar Mass (2007, background): “Although some Compton-thick AGNs will be missed in such a census (e.g., Donley et al. 2005; Martı́nez-Sansigre et al. 2006; Alonso-Herrero et al. 2006), a fraction of the 24 m emission in galaxies with AGNs is powered by star formation.”
SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS OF LOCAL LUMINOUS AND ULTRALUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES (2012, background): “2) > 0 to select galaxies with power-law SED shape in the near-IR, corresponding to Fν spectral slope of 0.4 (Kartaltepe et al. 2010; Alonso-Herrero et al. 2006; Donley et al. 2007).”
LOW-RESOLUTION SPECTRAL TEMPLATES FOR ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI AND GALAXIES FROM 0.03 TO 30 μm (2010, methodology): “In an earlier work, Donley et al. (2008) used objects in the GOODS-S field (Giavalisco et al. 2004) to compare the reliability of these two AGN selection criteria in addition to the power-law galaxies selection method of Alonso-Herrero et al. (2006) and Donley et al. (2007).”
Spitzer Power-Law Active Galactic Nucleus Candidates in the Chandra Deep Field-North (2007, methodology): “In addition to contamination from local spiral galaxies, Alonso-Herrero et al. (2006) found that cool ULIRGS atz> 2 and withα > −1 could appear as power-law galaxies.”
Optical Spectroscopy and X-Ray Detections of a Sample of Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei Selected in the Mid-Infrared from Two Spitzer Space Telescope Wide-Area Surveys (2006, background): “Comparison with Alonso-Herrero et al. (2006) suggests little variation in the obscured to unobscured ratio with redshift for AGN with strong mid-infrared emission.”
MID-INFRARED SELECTION OF ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI WITH THE WIDE-FIELD INFRARED SURVEY EXPLORER. II. PROPERTIES OF WISE-SELECTED ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI IN THE NDWFS BOÖTES FIELD (2012, methodology): “The first classification schemes were developed for Spitzer IRAC and MIPS photometry (see, e.g., Lacy et al. 2004, 2007; Stern et al. 2005; Alonso-Herrero et al. 2006; Messias et al. 2012) and have been shown to be very successful in terms of both reliability and completeness.”
Cosmic X-ray surveys of distant active galaxies (2015, methodology): “Power-law selection from MIR photometric and/or MIR spectroscopic data (e.g., Alonso-Herrero et al 2006; Donley et al 2007; Alexander et al 2008; Donley et al 2008; Park et al 2010).”
