SUMMARY:Sample formation and AGN Outflows in a Sample of Local AGN's\,
  Astronomy Colloquium\, Lisa Winter\, University of Colorado
DESCRIPTION:While feedback from the central supermassive black hole li
 kely affects the host galaxy evolution in the distant universe\, throu
 gh suppressing star formation\, we can not directly observe these proc
 esses at work.  We can\, however\, easily observe the host galaxy and 
 AGN properties of nearby sources.  To understand the outflow and host 
 galaxy properties in a local sample of AGN\, we present our results fr
 om optical and X-ray spectroscopic follow-ups of a sample of 50 Seyfer
 t 1s detected in the very hard X-rays (14-195 keV) with the Swift Burs
 t Alert Telescope.  Due to the high energy selection\, this survey is 
 largely unbiased to the gas and dust which obscures softer bands.  We 
 find that outflows are detected in a majority of the sample and may be
  present in all local Seyfert 1s.  We investigate how these outflows a
 ffect their host galaxies through searching for correlations between s
 tar formation rate and both accretion rate and outflow strength.
