1 Knowledge Base  AGN are the center of enormous galaxies emitting huge quantities of energy generated by material flowing into a black hole at the center, which expels the matter at its poles (O’Dowd, 2002).  AGN are the most luminous persistent sources of electromagnetic radiation in the universe.  AGN are the center of enormous galaxies emitting huge quantities of energy generated by material flowing into a black hole at the center, which expels the matter at its poles (O’Dowd, 2002).  AGN are the most luminous persistent sources of electromagnetic radiation in the universe.  Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) is a radio telescope located at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex.  Radio data in 8.5 GHz (X-band), and 2.3 GHz (S-band) of AGN were downloaded from GAVRT’s DSS12 radio antenna.  Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) is a radio telescope located at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex.  Radio data in 8.5 GHz (X-band), and 2.3 GHz (S-band) of AGN were downloaded from GAVRT’s DSS12 radio antenna. ABSTRACT Need  The Spitzer Space Telescope is an infrared space observatory.  Spitzer images of AGN in 3.6 microns, 4.5 microns, 5.8 microns, 8.0 microns were used.  The Spitzer Space Telescope is an infrared space observatory.  Spitzer images of AGN in 3.6 microns, 4.5 microns, 5.8 microns, 8.0 microns were used. Project Goals The goal is to use both measurements of infrared and radio emissions from active galaxies as well as estimates of the black hole masses of these galaxies to determine correlations between electromagnetic emission and black hole mass.

3 Discussion Bibliography  Results are in agreement with Zhang (2003), all correlations previously found between black hole mass and radio emissions are very weak.  Results are in agreement with Ho (2002), there must be fundamental factors in a black hole contributing to its emissions; there is no simple correlation.  Results contradict Mc Lure (2004), findings suggest that there is no correlation between black hole mass and radio loudness in Active Galactic Nuclei.  The infrared emissions are generated from heat near the black hole on small scale while the radio emissions are coming from a larger scale; the size of a galaxy.  The Active Galactic Nuclei used were limited in size; a larger selection of galaxies may show a correlation.  Results are in agreement with Zhang (2003), all correlations previously found between black hole mass and radio emissions are very weak.  Results are in agreement with Ho (2002), there must be fundamental factors in a black hole contributing to its emissions; there is no simple correlation.  Results contradict Mc Lure (2004), findings suggest that there is no correlation between black hole mass and radio loudness in Active Galactic Nuclei.  The infrared emissions are generated from heat near the black hole on small scale while the radio emissions are coming from a larger scale; the size of a galaxy.  The Active Galactic Nuclei used were limited in size; a larger selection of galaxies may show a correlation.
