AGN Activity in Giant LSB Galaxies
Schombert, James
Original · EN
A search of large, HI-rich disk galaxies finds a significantly higher fraction of low luminosity AGN signatures compared to other late-type galaxies. Approximately half of the galaxies selected in this sample have AGN-like behavior in their cores, the rest have HII nuclei resulting from simple star formation. Since AGN behavior is not evident in all the sample galaxies, which where selected by high gas mass, we speculate that it is the fuel flow rate that is the common feature between late-type LSB disks and other active nuclear galaxies.
