Herschel far-infrared photometry of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope active galactic nuclei sample of the local universe – III. Global star-forming properties and the lack of a connection to nuclear activity

Abstract We combine the Herschel Space Observatory PACS (Photoconductor Array Camera and Spectrometer) and SPIRE (Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver) photometry with archival WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) photometry to construct the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for over 3...

Description
Summary:Abstract We combine the Herschel Space Observatory PACS (Photoconductor Array Camera and Spectrometer) and SPIRE (Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver) photometry with archival WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) photometry to construct the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for over 300 local (z 0.5), especially at higher luminosities (L 14 − 195 keV > 1042.5 erg s−1). Finally, we measure the local SFR–AGN luminosity relationship, finding a slope of 0.18, large scatter (0.37 dex), and no evidence for an upturn at high AGN luminosity. We conclude with a discussion on the implications of our results within the context of galaxy evolution with and without AGN feedback.
