A two-parameter semi-empirical model is presented for the spectral energy distributions of galaxies with contributions to their infrared-submillimeter-radio emission from both star formation and accretion disk-powered activity. This model builds upon a previous one-parameter family of models for star-forming galaxies, and includes an update to the mid-infrared emission using an average template obtained from Spitzer Space Telescope observations of normal galaxies. Star-forming/AGN diagnostics based on PAH equivalent widths and broadband infrared colors are presented, and example mid-infrared AGN fractional contributions are estimated from model fits to the GOALS sample of nearby U/LIRGS and the 5MUSES sample of 24um-selected sources at redshifts 0 < z < 2.

  1. A New Record Census of Dwarf AGN and a Bimodal $M_{\rm BH}$-$M_{\star}$ Scaling Relation with DESI DR1

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    DESI DR1 yields 314k high-mass and 9.6k dwarf AGN, extending the M_BH-M_star relation to log M_star ~7.8 and suggesting two evolutionary pathways for galaxies and black holes.

  2. COSMOS-Web: does halo mass alone shape the clustering of star-forming and quiescent galaxies?

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Quiescent galaxies cluster more strongly than star-forming ones by 0.5-1 dex after halo-mass matching, with one-halo conformity up to z~2 that disappears at higher redshifts.

  3. X-ray luminosity function of Compton-thick AGN in the early Universe (z > 3). Robustness and biases of the CTK population

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    After applying IR-informed priors to X-ray NH posteriors in a sample of 811 high-z AGN, CTK sources comprise 17% of the population at 3<z<6 with no significant evolution.

  4. An Obscured Tidal Disruption Event Uncovered by Its Mid- and Near-Infrared Dust Echo in a Star-Forming Galaxy

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    An obscured tidal disruption event in SDSS J010320.39+140152.5 was identified through its mid- and near-infrared dust echo peaking at 5.4e43 Lsun.

  5. The Evolution of the SFR-M_* relation at 0.1<z<4: Environmental and Morphological Dependencies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The SFR-M_* relation develops a high-mass decline at low redshifts, driven mainly by morphological quenching from internal structure rather than environmental effects on star-forming galaxies.

  6. Exploring biases in derived stellar parameters and the ionizing photon production efficiency

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Different SED fitting techniques and data types produce stellar parameters and xi_ion values differing by up to 1.1 dex even for a homogeneous sample of z=3 EoR-analog galaxies, with apparent redshift evolution of xi_...

  7. PEARLS: JWST Counterparts of Micro-Jy Radio Sources in the NEP Time Domain Field. II. All Four Spokes

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 conditional novelty 4.0

    JWST finds infrared counterparts for nearly all micro-Jy radio sources, with star formation explaining the radio output in roughly 79% of cases after accounting for non-linear luminosity relations.

  8. COOL-LAMPS IX: A Rare Duo of Quasars Each Lensed by a Single Massive Galaxy Cluster

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 accept novelty 4.0

    A single galaxy cluster lenses two quasars (one Type I at z=1.524, one dust-obscured Type II at z=1.939) into four images each, yielding a projected mass of ~3.3e14 solar masses within 500 kpc and time delays of hundr...

  9. Investigating the Effects of Bars on Star Formation and Nuclear Activity of Galaxies Using DESI Survey Data

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Strong bars correlate with massive red galaxies, boost central star formation in low-mass systems while quenching it in high-mass ones, and increase AGN incidence, supporting bar-driven gas inflow.

  10. PEARLS: Two Distinct Populations of AGN Hosts Moving Between Star Formation and Quiescence

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    NIRCam-selected AGN hosts split into a 'bridge' group with moderate-to-low SFRs and a 'branch' group above the SFMS with SFR rising with AGN fraction; both populations show recent transitions between star formation an...

    SKAO continuum surveys will detect radio emission from JWST AGN and LRDs and distinguish between Compton-thick absorption, intrinsically weak accretion, and dense gas cocoon scenarios.
