| Abstract: |
While feedback from the central supermassive black hole likely affects
the host galaxy evolution in the distant universe, through suppressing
star formation, we can not directly observe these processes at
work. We can, however, easily observe the host galaxy and AGN
properties of nearby sources. To understand the outflow and host
galaxy properties in a local sample of AGN, we present our results
from optical and X-ray spectroscopic follow-ups of a sample of 50
Seyfert 1s detected in the very hard X-rays (14–195 keV) with the
Swift Burst Alert Telescope. Due to the high-energy selection, this
survey is largely unbiased to the gas and dust which obscures softer
bands. We find that outflows are detected in a majority of the sample
and may be present in all local Seyfert 1s. We investigate how these
outflows affect their host galaxies through searching for correlations
between star formation rate and both accretion rate and outflow
strength. |
