This project uses IRAC imaging.  The galaxies we have targeted are called Active Galactic Nuclei, or AGN.  They are called "active" because they emit large amounts of energy at many wavelengths above and beyond what we would calculate based on the total numbers of stars at their center.  We believe the excess energy is generated by material flowing into a huge black hole at their centers.  Our measurements of the infrared emission from these objects will be combined with our measurements of the radio emission from these same objects, as well as estimates made by professional astronomers of the masses of the black holes at their centers. We hope that we will learn more about how AGNs work by determining if and how their infrared and radio emissions depend on the mass of the black hole.
