We present a near-infrared (NIR) spectrum of WISE J1042+1641, an extremely red dust-obscured galaxy (DOG), which has been observed with the LIRIS on the 4.2m William Hershel Telescope. This object was selected as a hyper-luminous DOG candidate at z ~ 2 by combining the optical and IR photometric data based on the SDSS and WISE, although its redshift had not yet been confirmed. Based on the LIRIS observation, we confirmed its redshift of 2.521 and total IR luminosity of log(L_IR/L_sun) = 14.57, which satisfies the criterion for an extremely luminous IR galaxy (ELIRG). Moreover, we indicate that this object seems to have an extremely massive black hole with M_BH = 10^10.92 M_sun based on the broad Halpha line: the host stellar mass is derived as M_star = 10^13.55 M_sun by a fit of the spectral energy distribution. Very recently, it has been reported that this object is an anomalous gravitationally lensed quasar based on near-IR high-resolution imaging data obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. Its magnification factor has also been estimated with some uncertainty (i.e., mu = 53-122). We investigate the ratio of the black hole to galaxy mass, which is less strongly affected by a lensing magnification factor, instead of the absolute values of the luminosities and masses. We find that the M_BH/M_star ratio (i.e., 0.0140-0.0204) is significantly higher than the local relation, following a sequence of unobscured quasars instead of obscured objects (e.g., submillimeter galaxies) at the same redshift. Moreover, the LIRIS spectrum shows strongly blueshifted oxygen lines with an outflowing velocity of ~ 1100 km/s, and our Swift X-ray observation also supports that this source is an absorbed AGN with an intrinsic column density of N_H = 4.9 x 10^23 cm^-2. These results imply that WISE J1042+1641 is in a blow-out phase at the end of the buried rapid black hole growth.

We present the discovery of an extremely-luminous dust-obscured galaxy (DOG) at $z_{rm spec}$ = 3.703, WISE J101326.25+611220.1. This DOG is selected as a candidate of extremely-luminous infrared (IR) galaxies based on the photometry from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. In order to derive its accurate IR luminosity, we perform follow-up observations at 450 and 850 $mu$m using the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array 2 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, and at 870 and 1300 $mu$m using the Submillimeter Array, which enable us to pin down its IR Spectral Energy Distribution (SED). We perform SED fitting using 14 photometric data (0.4 - 1300 $mu$m) and estimate its IR luminosity, $L_{rm IR}$ (8-1000 $mu$m), to be $2.2^{+1.5}_{-1.0}$ $times 10^{14}$ $L_{odot}$, making it one of the most luminous IR galaxies in the Universe. The energy contribution from an active galactic nucleus (AGN) to the IR luminosity is $94^{+6}_{-20}$%, which indicates it is an AGN-dominated DOG. On the other hand, its stellar mass ($M_*$) and star formation rate (SFR) are $log ,(M_ast/M_{odot})$ = $11.2^{+0.6}_{-0.2}$ and $log ,({rm SFR}/M_{odot},{rm yr}^{-1}$) = $3.1^{+0.2}_{-0.1}$, respectively, which means that this DOG can be considered as a starburst galaxy in $M_*$--SFR plane. This extremely-luminous DOG shows significant AGN and star forming activity that provides us an important laboratory to probe the maximum phase of the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes.
We present a multi-wavelength study of the active galactic nucleus in the nearby ($D=14.1$ Mpc) low mass galaxy IC 750, which has circumnuclear 22 GHz water maser emission. The masers trace a nearly edge-on, warped disk $sim$0.2 pc in diameter, coincident with the compact nuclear X-ray source which lies at the base of the $sim$kpc-scale extended X-ray emission. The position-velocity structure of the maser emission indicates the central black hole (BH) has a mass less than $1.4 times 10^5~M_odot$. Keplerian rotation curves fitted to these data yield enclosed masses between $4.1 times 10^4~M_odot$ and $1.4 times 10^5~M_odot$, with a mode of $7.2 times 10^4~M_odot$. Fitting the optical spectrum, we measure a nuclear stellar velocity dispersion $sigma_* = 110.7^{+12.1}_{-13.4}$~{rm km~s}$^{-1}.$ From near-infrared photometry, we fit a bulge mass of $(7.3 pm 2.7) times 10^8~M_odot$ and a stellar mass of $1.4 times 10^{10}~M_odot$. The mass upper limit of the intermediate mass black hole in IC 750 falls roughly two orders of magnitude below the $M_{rm BH}-sigma_*$ relation and roughly one order of magnitude below the $M_{rm BH}-M_{rm Bulge}$ and $M_{rm BH}-M_*$ relations -- larger than the relations intrinsic scatters of (0.58 $pm$ 0.09) dex, 0.69 dex, and (0.65 $pm$ 0.09) dex, respectively. These offsets could be due to larger scatter at the low mass end of these relations. Alternatively, black hole growth is intrinsically inefficient in galaxies with low bulge and/or stellar masses, which causes the black holes to be under-massive relative to their hosts, as predicted by some galaxy evolution simulations.
We present the first X-ray spectrum of a Hot dust-obscured galaxy (DOG), namely W1835+4355 at z ~ 2.3. Hot DOGs represent a very rare population of hyperluminous (>= 10^47 erg/s), dust-enshrouded objects at z > 2 recently discovered in the WISE All Sky Survey. The 40 ks XMM-Newton spectrum reveals a continuum as flat (Gamma ~ 0.8) as typically seen in heavily obscured AGN. This, along with the presence of strong Fe Kalpha emission, clearly suggests a reflection-dominated spectrum due to Compton-thick absorption. In this scenario, the observed luminosity of L(2-10 keV) ~ 2 x 10^44 erg/s is a fraction (<10%) of the intrinsic one, which is estimated to be >~ 5 x 10^45 erg/s by using several proxies. The Herschel data allow us to constrain the SED up to the sub-mm band, providing a reliable estimate of the quasar contribution (~ 75%) to the IR luminosity as well as the amount of star formation (~ 2100 Msun/yr). Our results thus provide additional pieces of evidence that associate Hot DOGs with an exceptionally dusty phase during which luminous quasars and massive galaxies co-evolve and a very efficient and powerful AGN-driven feedback mechanism is predicted by models.
Serendipitously we have discovered a rare, bright submillimeter galaxy (SMG) with a flux density of 30 +/- 2 mJy at lambda=1.2mm, using MAMBO2 at the IRAM 30-meter millimeter telescope. Although no optical counterpart is known for MM18423+5938, we were able to measure the redshift z=3.92960 +/- 0.00013 from the detection of CO lines using the IRAM Eight MIxer Receiver (EMIR). In addition, by collecting all available photometric data in the far-infrared and radio to constrain its spectral energy distribution, we derive the FIR luminosity 4.8 10^14/m Lsol and mass 6.0 10^9/m Msol for its dust, allowing for a magnification factor m caused by a probable gravitational lens. The corresponding star-formation rate is 8.3 10^4/m Msol/yr. The detection of three lines of the CO rotational ladder, and a significant upper limit for a fourth CO line, allow us to estimate an H2 mass of between 1.9 10^11/m Msol and 1.1 10^12/m Msol. The two lines CI(3p1-3p0) and CI(3p2-3p1) were clearly detected and yield a [CI]/[H2] number abundance between 1.4 10^-5 and 8.0 10^-5. Upper limits are presented for emission lines of HCN, HCO^+, HNC, H_2O and other molecules observed. The moderate excitation of the CO lines is indicative of an extended starburst, and excludes the dominance of an AGN in heating this high-redshift SMG.
We investigate the cosmic evolution of the ratio between black hole mass (MBH) and host galaxy total stellar mass (Mstellar) out to z~2.5 for a sample of 100 X-ray-selected moderate-luminosity, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the Chandra-COSMOS Legacy Survey. By taking advantage of the deep multi-wavelength photometry and spectroscopy in the COSMOS field, we measure in a uniform way the galaxy total stellar mass using a SED decomposition technique and the black hole mass based on broad emission line measurements and single-epoch virial estimates. Our sample of AGN host galaxies has total stellar masses of 10^10-12Msun, and black hole masses of 10^7.0-9.5Msun. Combining our sample with the relatively bright AGN samples from the literature, we find no significant evolution of the MBH-Mstellar relation with black hole-to-host total stellar mass ratio of MBH/Mstellar~0.3% at all redshifts probed. We conclude that the average black hole-to-host stellar mass ratio appears to be consistent with the local value within the uncertainties, suggesting a lack of evolution of the MBH-Mstellar relation up to z~2.5.
