Exploring the infrared SEDs of local AGNs

该项目将利用深空光学和射电成像观测来研究具有强核发射线的中等射电功率（10^22.5 < P_1.4GHz < 10^24 W Hz^-1）活动星系核的触发及其宿主星系的性质。这些目标包括：（a）利用对宿主星系的详细形态和环境的光学测量来确定在主要的星系合并中是否触发了中等射电功率物体;（B）确定宿主星系的光学形态和球盘比如何随射电功率而变化;（c）研究射电形态如何取决于射电功率。

This project will involve using deep optical and radio imaging observations to investigate the triggering of intermediate radio power (10^22.5 < P_1.4GHz < 10^24 W Hz^-1) AGN with strong nuclear emission lines, and the nature of their host galaxies. The aims include: (a) using optical measures of the detailed morphologies and environments of the host galaxies to determine whether the intermediate radio power objects are triggered in major galaxy mergers; (b) to determine how the optical morphologies and bulge-to-disk ratios of the host galaxies vary with radio power; (c) to investigate how the radio morphologies depend on radio power.
