We report herschel observations of 100 very luminous, optically selected AGNs at z=2-3.5 with log(LUV)(erg/sec)> 46.5, where LUV=L1350A. The distribution in LUV is similar to the general distribution of SDSS AGNs in this redshift and luminosity interval. We measured SF luminosity, LSF, and SFR in 34 detected sources by fitting combined SF and WISE-based torus templates. We also obtained statistically significant stacks for the undetected sources in two luminosity groups. The sample properties are compared with those of very luminous AGNs at z>4.5. The main findings are: 1) The mean and the median SFRs of the detected sources are 1176 and 1010 Msun/yr, respectively. The mean SFR of the undetected sources is 148 Msun/yr. The ratio of SFR to BH accretion rate is approximately 80 for the detected sources and less than 10 for the undetected sources. There is no difference in LAGN and only a very small difference in L(torus) between detected and undetected sources. 2) The redshift distribution of LSF and LAGN for the most luminous, redshift 2-7 AGNs are different. The highest LAGN are found at z=~3. However, LSF of such sources peaks at z=~5. Assuming the objects in our sample are hosted by the most massive galaxies at those redshifts, we find many of them are below the main-sequence of SF galaxies at z=2-3.5. 3) The SEDs of dusty tori at high redshift are similar to those found in low redshift, low luminosity AGNs. Herschel upper limits put strong constraints on the long wavelength SED ruling out several earlier suggested torus templates. 4) We find no evidence for a luminosity dependence of the torus covering factor in sources with log(LAGN)=44-47.5. This conclusion is based on the highly uncertain and non-uniformally treated LAGN in many earlier studies. The median covering factors over this range are 0.68 for isotropic dust emission and 0.4 for anisotropic emission.

We investigate the relation between star formation rates ($dot{M}_{s}$) and AGN properties in optically selected type 1 quasars at $2<z<3$ using data from Herschel and the SDSS. We find that $dot{rm{M}}_s$ remains approximately constant with redshift
, at $300pm100~rm{M}_{odot}$yr$^{-1}$. Conversely, $dot{rm{M}}_s$ increases with AGN luminosity, up to a maximum of $sim600~rm{M}_{odot}$yr$^{-1}$, and with CIV FWHM. In context with previous results, this is consistent with a relation between $dot{rm{M}}_s$ and black hole accretion rate ($dot{rm{M}}_{bh}$) existing in only parts of the $z-dot{rm{M}}_{s}-dot{rm{M}}_{bh}$ plane, dependent on the free gas fraction, the trigger for activity, and the processes that may quench star formation. The relations between $dot{rm{M}}_s$ and both AGN luminosity and CIV FWHM are consistent with star formation rates in quasars scaling with black hole mass, though we cannot rule out a separate relation with black hole accretion rate. Star formation rates are observed to decline with increasing CIV equivalent width. This decline can be partially explained via the Baldwin effect, but may have an additional contribution from one or more of three factors; $M_i$ is not a linear tracer of L$_{2500}$, the Baldwin effect changes form at high AGN luminosities, and high CIV EW values signpost a change in the relation between $dot{rm{M}}_s$ and $dot{rm{M}}_{bh}$. Finally, there is no strong relation between $dot{rm{M}}_s$ and Eddington ratio, or the asymmetry of the CIV line. The former suggests that star formation rates do not scale with how efficiently the black hole is accreting, while the latter is consistent with CIV asymmetries arising from orientation effects.
We present ALMA Band~7 observations at $850mu$m of 20 luminous ($log, L_{rm bol}>46.9$ [erg s$^{-1}$]) unobscured quasars at $zsim2$. We detect continuum emission for 19/20 quasars. After subtracting an AGN contribution, we measure the total far-IR l
uminosity for 18 quasars, assuming a modified blackbody model, and attribute the emission as indicative of the star formation rate (SFR). Our sample can be characterized with a log-normal SFR distribution having a mean of 140 $M_odot$ yr$^{-1}$ and a dispersion of 0.5 dex. Based on an inference of their stellar masses, the SFRs are similar, in both the mean and dispersion, with star-forming main-sequence galaxies at the equivalent epoch. Thus, there is no evidence for a systematic enhancement or suppression (i.e., regulation or quenching) of star formation in the hosts of the most luminous quasars at $zsim2$. These results are consistent with the Magneticum cosmological simulation, while in disagreement with a widely recognized phenomenological model that predicts higher SFRs than observed here based on the high bolometric luminosities of this sample. Furthermore, there is only a weak relation between SFR and accretion rate onto their supermassive black holes both for average and individual measurements. We interpret these results as indicative of star formation and quasar accretion being fed from the available gas reservoir(s) in their host with a disconnect due to their different physical sizes, temporal scales, and means of gas processing.
We study the co-evolution between the black hole accretion rate (BHAR) and the star formation rate (SFR) in different galaxy life phases: main sequence star-forming galaxies, quiescent and starburst galaxies at different cosmic epochs. We take adva
ntage of the X-ray data from the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy survey and of the extensive multiwavelength ancillary observations in the COSMOS field presented in the COSMOS2015 catalog. We perform an X-ray stacking analysis and combine it with detected sources, in a broad redshift interval ($0.1<z<3.5$). The X-ray luminosity is used to predict the BHAR, while a similar stacking analysis on far-infrared Herschel maps is used to measure the corresponding SFR. We focus on the evolution of the average SFR-stellar mass (M*) relation and compare it with the BHAR-M* relation. We find that the ratio between BHAR and SFR does not evolve with redshift, although it depends on stellar mass. For the star-forming populations, this dependence on M* has a logarithmic slope of $sim0.6$, for the starburst sample of $sim0.4$, both at odds with quiescent sources where it remains constant ($log(rm {BHAR}/{rm SFR})sim -3.4$). By studying the specific BHAR and specific SFR we find signs of downsizing for both M* and black hole mass (M$_{rm BH}$): quiescents grew their super-massive black hole at very early times, while star-forming and starburst galaxies had an accretion that endured until more recent times. Our results support the idea that the same physical processes feed and sustain both star formation and black hole accretion. Our integrated estimates of the M*-M$_{rm BH}$ relation at all redshifts are consistent with independent determinations of the local M*-M$_{rm BH}$ relation, thus adding key evidence to a weak evolution in the BHAR/SFR, and its low normalization compared to local dynamical M*-M$_{rm BH}$ relations.
We present the detection of four far-infrared fine-structure oxygen lines, as well as strong upper limits for the CO(2-1) and [N II] 205 um lines, in 3C 368, a well-studied radio-loud galaxy at z = 1.131. These new oxygen lines, taken in conjunction
with previously observed neon and carbon fine-structure lines, suggest a powerful active galactic nucleus (AGN), accompanied by vigorous and extended star formation. A starburst dominated by O8 stars, with an age of ~6.5 Myr, provides a good fit to the fine-structure line data. This estimated age of the starburst makes it nearly concurrent with the latest episode of AGN activity, suggesting a link between the growth of the supermassive black hole and stellar population in this source. We do not detect the CO(2-1) line, down to a level twelve times lower than the expected value for star forming galaxies. This lack of CO line emission is consistent with recent star formation activity if the star-forming molecular gas has low metallicity, is highly fractionated (such that CO is photodissociated through much of the clouds), or is chemically very young (such that CO has not yet had time to form). It is also possible, though we argue unlikely, that the ensemble of fine structure lines are emitted from the region heated by the AGN.
We examine the fraction of massive ($M_{*}>10^{10} M_{odot}$), compact star-forming galaxies (cSFGs) that host an active galactic nucleus (AGN) at $zsim2$. These cSFGs are likely the direct progenitors of the compact quiescent galaxies observed at th
is epoch, which are the first population of passive galaxies to appear in large numbers in the early Universe. We identify cSFGs that host an AGN using a combination of Hubble WFC3 imaging and Chandra X-ray observations in four fields: the Chandra Deep Fields, the Extended Groth Strip, and the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey field. We find that $39.2^{+3.9}_{-3.6}$% (65/166) of cSFGs at $1.4<z<3.0$ host an X-ray detected AGN. This fraction is 3.2 times higher than the incidence of AGN in extended star-forming galaxies with similar masses at these redshifts. This difference is significant at the $6.2sigma$ level. Our results are consistent with models in which cSFGs are formed through a dissipative contraction that triggers a compact starburst and concurrent growth of the central black hole. We also discuss our findings in the context of cosmological galaxy evolution simulations that require feedback energy to rapidly quench cSFGs. We show that the AGN fraction peaks precisely where energy injection is needed to reproduce the decline in the number density of cSFGs with redshift. Our results suggest that the first abundant population of massive, quenched galaxies emerged directly following a phase of elevated supermassive black hole growth and further hints at a possible connection between AGN and the rapid quenching of star formation in these galaxies.
