Using a new color-color diagnostic diagram in the mid infrared built from WISE data, the MIRDD, we compare narrow emission-line galaxies (NELGs) that exhibit different activity types (star-forming galaxies, SFGs, and AGNs, i.e.,LINERs, Sy2s and TOs), with broad-line AGNs (QSOs and Sy1s) and BL Lac objects at low redshift ($z le 0.25$). We show that the BL Lac objects occupy in the MIRDD the same region as the LINERs, whereas the QSOs and Sy1s occupy an intermediate region, between the LINERs and the Sy2s.In the MIRDD these galaxies trace a sequence that can be reproduced by a power law, $F_ u = u^{alpha}$, where the spectral index, $alpha$, varies from 0 to $-2$, which is similar to what is observed in the optical-ultraviolet part of the spectra of AGNs with different luminosities. For the NELGs, we perform a stellar population synthesis analysis, demonstrating that the ${rm W}2-{rm W}3$ color is tightly correlated with the level of star formation in their host galaxies. A comparison of their MIR colors with the colors yielded by energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies with different activity types, shows that the SED of the LINERs is similar to the SEDs of the QSOs and Sy1s, consistent with AGN galaxies with mild star formation, whereas the SEDs of the Sy2s and TOs are consistent with AGN galaxies with strong star formation components. For the BL Lac objects, we can only fit a SED that has no star formation component, consistent with AGNs in elliptical-type galaxies. From their similarities in MIR colors and SEDs, we infer that, in the nearby universe, the level of star formation activity most probably increases in the host galaxies of emission-line galaxies with different activity types along the sequence BL Lac$rightarrow$LINER$rightarrow$QSO/Sy1$rightarrow$Sy2$rightarrow$TO$rightarrow$SFG.
We propose a new diagram, the Kinematic-Excitation diagram (KEx diagram), which uses the [OIII]/Hbeta line ratio and the [OIII]5007 emission line width (sigma_{[OIII]}) to diagnose the ionization source and physical properties of the Active Galactic
LAMOST has released more than two million spectra, which provide the opportunity to search for double-peaked narrow emission line (NEL) galaxies and AGNs. The double-peaked narrow-line profiles can be well modeled by two velocity components, respecti
We consider whether Broad Absorption Line Quasars (BAL QSOs) and Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are similar, as suggested by Brandt & Gallagher (2000) and Boroson (2002). For this purpose we constructed a sample of 11 BAL QSOs from existing C
We demonstrate a new technique for determining the physical conditions of the broad line emitting gas in quasars, using near-infrared hydrogen emission lines. Unlike higher ionisation species, hydrogen is an efficient line emitter for a very wide ran
We studied optical variability (OV) of a large sample of narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) and broad-line Seyfert 1 (BLSy1) galaxies with z<0.8 to investigate any differences in their OV properties. Using archival optical V-band light curves from the Cat
