Abstract

The interplay between active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and their host galaxies' star-formation activities is one of the central topics in pursuing an understanding of galaxy evolution. With the advent of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), we have much more accurate information than ever about the recent star formation (RSF) histories of early-type galaxies within ~ 1.5 Gyr in the local universe. Using a subset of ~ 1000 GALEX/SDSS type 2 AGN-host early-type galaxies (E/S0) based on the emission-line ratio diagnosis, we explore how AGNs affect the RSF histories of the early-type hosts and vice versa. In this contribution, we present a preliminary yet interesting result on the intimate connection between AGN activity and the RSF histories of early-type galaxies.
