Issue Date: | 2017 | Journal: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL | Number: | 841 | Issue: | 2 | First Page: | 102 | Abstract: | We investigate the star formation properties of a large sample of ∼2300 X-ray-selected Type 2 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) host galaxies out to z∼ 3 in the Chandra COSMOS Legacy Survey in order to understand the connection between the star formation and nuclear activity. Making use of the existing multi-wavelength photometric data available in the COSMOS field, we perform a multi-component modeling from far-infrared to near-ultraviolet using a nuclear dust torus model, a stellar population model and a starburst model of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Through detailed analyses of SEDs, we derive the stellar masses and the star formation rates (SFRs) of Type 2 AGN host galaxies. The stellar mass of our sample is in the range of 9< {log} {M}<SUB>{stellar</SUB>}/{M}<SUB>☉ </SUB>< 12 with uncertainties of ∼0.19 dex. We find that Type 2 AGN host galaxies have, on average, similar SFRs compared to the normal star-forming galaxies with similar M <SUB>stellar</SUB> and redshift ranges, suggesting no significant evidence for enhancement or quenching of star formation. This could be interpreted in a scenario, where the relative massive galaxies have already experienced substantial growth at higher redshift (z> 3), and grow slowly through secular fueling processes hosting moderate-luminosity AGNs. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29096 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/aa725c | ISSN: | 0004-637X | DOI: | 10.3847/1538-4357/aa725c | Bibcode ADS: | 2017ApJ...841..102S | Fulltext: | open |
