Galaxies within 150Mpc observed with Chandra

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

She+ (Paper I, 2017, J/ApJ/835/223) assembled a catalog of nearby galaxies observed with the Chandra X-ray observatory, by cross-matching galaxies in the NASA Extragalactic Database within 50Mpc and the Chandra archive.

Description

That sample has enabled searches of low-mass black holes associated with late-type, bulgeless galaxies and studies of the accretion physics related to low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Using a similar approach, here we construct an extended catalog up to 150Mpc and make a cross-correlation with a catalog of nearby galaxy groups.

The new catalog consists of 1964 galaxies, out of which 1692 have a redshift-independent distance, 1557 are listed in the galaxy group catalog with group properties available, and 782 are identified to be X-ray AGN candidates. Compared with the AGN sample in Paper I, the new sample is 2.5 times larger in size (782 versus 314), with ~80% of the new members having an Eddington ratio less than 10^-4^. We confirm that the conclusions based on the previous sample remain.

With the new sample, we compare AGN fractions between early-type and late-type galaxies, and between central and satellite galaxies in groups, and find no significant difference. This suggests that the secular process is not the dominant mechanism feeding AGNs in the local universe.
