Evidence for merger-driven growth in luminous, high-z, obscured AGNs in the CANDELS/COSMOS field

Evidence for merger-driven growth in luminous, high-z, obscured AGNs in the CANDELS/COSMOS field

While major mergers have long been proposed as a driver of both active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity and the MBH–sbulge relation, studies of moderate to high-redshift Seyfert-luminosity AGN hosts have found little evidence for enhanced rates of interactions. However, both theory and observation s...
