Abstract
AbstractConnection between star formation and AGN activity has been studied widely over the past years, which shown to be very important for understanding better the role of AGN in galaxy evolution. In this context, what are the stellar ages and average stellar populations of AGN host galaxies, and if there are any differences depending on AGN type, are still open questions that brought many inconsistencies, very often due to different selection criteria used. The AGN sample detected in the ultra-hard X-rays (14–195 keV) by the Swift BAT telescope is not affected by obscuration nor is it contaminated by stellar emission, and presents some of the most unbiased samples. In this talk we will present the results obtained on AGN stellar populations and ages through spectral fittings by using the Swift-BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS) which gives us an unique opportunity to understand better the connection between AGN and their host galaxies.
