The Properties of Radio and Mid-infrared Detected Galaxies and the Effect of Environment on the Co-evolution of AGN and Star Formation at z ~ 1

Dear All,

This semester, I will host the USTC astronomy Lunch talk. Our first Lunch Talk will be given by me, Lu Shen (沈璐), at 11AM Thursday (Oct. 10th) in the 19th-floor Observatory Hall (天文台报告厅). The title of the talk will be “The Properties of Radio and Mid-infrared Detected Galaxies and the Effect of Environment on the Co-evolution of AGN and Star Formation at z ~ 1”.

I will present my latest paper (submitted). In this work, I investigate the co-evolution of AGN and star formation using 179 radio-IR galaxies that are detected in radio and mid-infrared (MIR) at z ~ 1 in the Observations of Redshift Evolution in Large Scale Environments (ORELSE) survey. A toy model is designed to demonstrate this co-evolution scenario, where I find that, in almost all cases, a rapid quenching timescale is required, which I argue is a signature of AGN quenching.

You are welcome to join the discussion. We will provide boxed food from the faculty canteen, and more details about signing up for boxed food are given below.


Best regards,

Lu Shen
