Presentation 1 : Oral
Host Galaxies of AGN (PNG)
C. Boisson, M. Joly, D. Pelat
The relationship of an AGN to its host galaxy is a crucial
question in the study of galaxy evolution. We perform stellar
population synthesis in the central regions of nearby galaxies of different
activity levels. A large number of stellar features are measured
both in the optical and near-infrared.
We find the nuclear stellar population to be related to the level of
activity. These differences are no more conspicuous further away in
the bulge of the galaxy.
