We investigate the relation between AGN and star formation (SF) activity at $0.5 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$) and a large comparison sample of $\sim 320,000$ galaxies without X-ray luminous AGN. Our samples are selected from a large (11.8 deg$^2$) area in Stripe 82 that has multi-wavelength (X-ray to far-IR) data. The enormous comoving volume ($\sim 0.3$ Gpc$^3$) at $0.5 10^{11} \ M_{\odot}$) and X-ray luminous AGN. While many galaxy studies discard AGN hosts, we fit the SED of galaxies with and without X-ray luminous AGN with Code Investigating GALaxy Emission (CIGALE) and include AGN emission templates. We find that without this inclusion, stellar masses and star formation rates (SFRs) in AGN host galaxies can be overestimated, on average, by factors of up to $\sim 5$ and $\sim 10$, respectively. The average SFR of galaxies with X-ray luminous AGN is higher by a factor of $\sim 3$ to $10$ compared to galaxies without X-ray luminous AGN at fixed stellar mass and redshift, suggesting that high SFRs and high AGN X-ray luminosities may be fueled by common mechanisms. The vast majority ($> 95 \%$) of galaxies with X-ray luminous AGN at $z=0.5-3$ do not show quenched SF: this suggests that if AGN feedback quenches SF, the associated quenching process takes a significant time to act and the quenched phase sets in after the highly luminous phases of AGN activity.

探索宇宙正午时大质量星系的AGN和恒星形成活动

我们在 $0.5 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$) 和一个没有 X 射线发光 AGN 的 $\sim 320,000$ 星系的大型比较样本中研究了 AGN 与恒星形成 (SF) 活动之间的关系。我们的样本是从 Stripe 82 的一个大 (11.8 deg$^2$) 区域中选择的,该区域具有多波长(X 射线到远红外)数据。巨大的联动体积 ($\sim 0.3$ Gpc$^3$) 为 $0.5 10^{11} \ M_{\odot}$) 和 X 射线发光 AGN。虽然许多星系研究都放弃了 AGN 宿主,但我们将带有和不带有 X 射线发光 AGN 的星系的 SED 与代码调查星系发射 (CIGALE) 相匹配,并包括 AGN 发射模板。我们发现,如果没有这种包含,AGN 宿主星系中的恒星质量和恒星形成率 (SFR) 可能会被高估,平均分别高达 $\sim 5 $ 和 $\sim 10 $。在固定的恒星质量和红移下,具有 X 射线发光 AGN 的星系的平均恒星形成率比没有 X 射线发光 AGN 的星系高 3 美元至 10 美元,这表明高恒星形成率和高 AGN X-射线亮度可能是由常见的机制驱动的。绝大多数 ($> 95 \%$) 的 X 射线发光 AGN 在 $z=0.5-3$ 的星系没有显示淬灭 SF:这表明如果 AGN 反馈淬灭 SF,相关的淬灭过程需要很长时间在 AGN 活动的高亮度相之后,淬灭相开始起作用。
