Optical rest-frame spectroscopic diagnostics are usually employed to distinguish between star formation and AGN-powered emission. However, this method is biased against dusty sources, hampering a complete census of the AGN population across cosmic epochs. To mitigate this effect, it is crucial to observe at longer wavelengths in the rest-frame near-infrared (near-IR), which is less affected by dust attenuation and can thus provide a better description of the intrinsic properties of galaxies. AGN diagnostics in this regime have not been fully exploited so far, due to the scarcity of near-IR observations of both AGNs and star-forming galaxies, especially at redshifts higher than 0.5. Using Cloudy photoionization models, we identify new AGN - star formation diagnostics based on the ratio of bright near-infrared emission lines, namely [SIII] 9530 Angstrom, [CI] 9850 Angstrom, [PII] 1.188 \\(\\mu m\\), [FeII] \\(1.257 \\mu m\\), and [FeII] \\(1.64 \\mu m\\) to Paschen lines (either Pa\\(\\gamma\\) or Pa\\(\\beta\\)), providing simple, analytical classification criteria. We apply these diagnostics to a sample of 64 star-forming galaxies and AGNs at 0 < z < 1, and 65 sources at 1 < z < 3 recently observed with JWST-NIRSpec in CEERS. We find that the classification inferred from the near-infrared is broadly consistent with the optical one based on the BPT and the [SII]/H\\(\\alpha\\) ratio. However, in the near-infrared, we find \\(\\sim 60 \\%\\) more AGNs than in the optical (13 instead of 8), with 5 sources classified as 'hidden' AGNs, showing a larger AGN contribution at longer wavelengths, possibly due to the presence of optically thick dust. The diagnostics we present provide a promising tool to find and characterize AGNs from z=0 to z=3 with low and medium-resolution near-IR spectrographs in future surveys.
Opinion | L'instant payment peut-il devenir un moyen de paiement universel ?
2018
C'est cette directive qui est à l'origine de l'émergence de l'instant payment en France, car permet des échanges financiers entre tous les acteurs de la zone SEPA par l'intermédiaire d'une plateforme de règlement en temps réel de la BCE. En France, BPCE est le premier groupe bancaire à proposer un service d'instant payment à ses clients et fait figure de pionnier sur le sujet. Il répond aux principales difficultés des modes de règlement actuels (carte bancaire, virement, prélèvement, chèque, espèce) Pour les utilisateurs : adaptation aux différents usages (paiement C2C, C2B, B2C), fluidité du parcours client, instantanéité, transaction sécurisée, 100 % dématérialisée et traçable. Pour les entreprises : réduction des traitements, augmentation de la confiance, réduction des défaillances de paiement et optimisation de trésorerie. Pour les banques et administrations : source des nouveaux revenus, réduction des acteurs intermédiaires (réseaux VISA/MasterCard), réduction des coûts de transactions, réductions des délais de réception, diminution de la lourdeur administrative, et diminution de la fraude.
