SDSS spectral analysis of IR-bright DOGs

For 36 IR-bright DOGs that show [OIII]{lambda}5007 emission in the SDSS spectra, we performed a detailed spectral analysis to investigate their ionized gas properties. In particular, we measured the velocity offset (the velocity with respect to the systemic velocity measured from the stellar absorption lines) and the velocity dispersion of the [OIII] line.

We found that the derived velocity offset and dispersion of most IR-bright DOGs are larger than those of Seyfert 2 galaxies (Sy2s) at z<0.3, meaning that the IR-bright DOGs show relatively strong outflows compared to Sy2s. This can be explained by the difference in IR luminosity contributed from active galactic nuclei, L_IR_ (AGN), because we found that (i) L_IR_ (AGN) correlates with the velocity offset and dispersion of [OIII] and (ii) our IR-bright DOG sample has larger L_IR_ (AGN) than Sy2s.
