  1. ABSTRACT Need Active galactic nuclei play an enormous role in studies of the early universe (Gorjian, 2009). Ground Based and Hubble Space Telescope images of the Active Galaxy NGC 4261 . Knowledge Base Active Galactic Nuclei Data Sources • AGN are the center of enormous galaxies emitting huge quantities of energy generated by material flowing into a black hole at the center, which expels the matter at its poles (O’Dowd, 2002). • AGN are the most luminous persistent sources of electromagnetic radiation in the universe. • Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) is a radio telescope located at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex. • Radio data in 8.5 GHz (X-band), and 2.3 GHz (S-band) of AGN were downloaded from GAVRT’s DSS12 radio antenna. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/jpl/images/content/160106main_gavrt-sunrise-browse.jpg • The Spitzer Space Telescope is an infrared space observatory. • Spitzer images of AGN in 3.6 microns, 4.5 microns, 5.8 microns, 8.0 microns were used. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/jpl/images/content/160106main_gavrt-sunrise-browse.jpg http://whyfiles.org/223orbital_astro/images/spitzer.jpg Literature Review • Zhang, 2003 • All correlations previously found between black hole mass and radio emissions are very weak if they exist at all. • Ho, 2002 • There is no simple relationship between radio luminosity and black hole mass. • Mc Lure, 2004 • Black hole mass is strongly correlated with radio luminosity and radio loudness of an Active Galactic Nuclei. • O’Dowd, 2002 • No correlation was found between black hole mass and energy output from the nucleus. Radio emission vs. Black hole Mass (Ho, 2002). Radio emission vs. Black hole Mass (Zhang, 2003). Project Goals The goal is to use both measurements of infrared and radio emissions from active galaxies as well as estimates of the black hole masses of these galaxies to determine correlations between electromagnetic emission and black hole mass.

  3. Discussion • Results are in agreement with Zhang (2003),all correlations previously found between black hole mass and radio emissions are very weak. • Results are in agreement with Ho (2002),there must be fundamental factors in a black hole contributing to its emissions; there is no simple correlation. • Results contradict Mc Lure (2004),findings suggest that there is no correlation between black hole mass and radio loudness in Active Galactic Nuclei. • The infrared emissions are generated from heat near the black hole on small scale while the radio emissions are coming from a larger scale; the size of a galaxy. • The Active Galactic Nuclei used were limited in size; a larger selection of galaxies may show a correlation. Conclusion • There is no correlation found between black hole mass (kg) to infrared/radio emissions. Aperture Photometry Tool (Scaramucci and DiPreta, 2009) Multiple electromagnetic wavelength array. Future Studies • More Active Galactic nuclei will be used, and at different masses. • Another wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum will be added. http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2001/0157blue/0157blue_xray.jpg This Chandra image of Cen A shows a bright central source: the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) suspected of harboring a super massive black hole.
