Resolved UV-Optical HST Imaging and Spectral Energy Distribution Modeling of Nearby BAT Active Galactic Nuclei

Connor Auge, Michael Koss, Kriti K. Gupta +17

We use high-resolution UV-to-optical imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to construct spatially resolved spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for seven nearby ()…

BASS. LI. Cool gas supply of HI-massive local Seyfert galaxies

Jeein Kim, Aeree Chung, O. Ivy Wong +19

We present neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) imaging observations of 22 HI-rich (), hard X-ray-selected local Seyferts to explore how cool gas is su…

BASS LV. Connecting X-ray variability with AGN physical properties and a new path to Cosmological distances

Matilde Signorini, Federica Ricci, Alessia Tortosa +18

X-ray variability is a well-established characteristic of active galactic nuclei (AGN), known to correlate inversely with both the supermassive black hole mass and luminosity, alth…

BASS.L. Near-infrared Data Release 3: A Spectral Atlas and Characterization of AGN

Jarred Gillette, Michael J. Koss, Darshan Kakkad +18

We present an analysis of near-infrared (NIR) emission-line properties, AGN diagnostics, and circumnuclear gas dynamics for 453 hard X-ray selected (14195 keV) AGN from the BAT…

BASS. XLIX. Characterization of highly luminous and obscured AGNs: local X-ray and [NeV]3426 emission in comparison with the high-redshift Universe

Alessandro Peca, Michael J. Koss, Kyuseok Oh +21

We present a detailed analysis of the most luminous and obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) detected in the ultra-hard X-ray band (14-195 keV) by Swift/BAT. Our sample comprises…

BASS XLVIII: [Ne v] λ3427 Emission in Powerful Nearby Active Galactic Nuclei

Tomer Reiss, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Claudio Ricci +14

We investigate the high-ionization, narrow [Ne v] 3427 emission line in a sample of over 340 ultrahard X-ray (14-195 keV) selected Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) drawn from the BA…

BASS XLI: the correlation between Mid-infrared emission lines and Active Galactic Nuclei emission

M. Bierschenk, C. Ricci, M. J. Temple +22

We analyze the Spitzer spectra of 140 active galactic nuclei (AGN) detected in the hard X-rays (14-195 keV) by the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board Swift. This sample allows us…

Deconvolution of JWST/MIRI Images: Applications to an AGN Model and GATOS Observations of NGC 5728

M. T. Leist, C. Packham, D. J. V. Rosario +32

The superb image quality, stability and sensitivity of the JWST permit deconvolution techniques to be pursued with a fidelity unavailable to ground-based observations. We present a…

BASS XLII: The relation between the covering factor of dusty gas and the Eddington ratio in nearby active galactic nuclei

C. Ricci, K. Ichikawa, M. Stalevski +25

Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) located at the center of galaxies are typically surrounded by large quantities of gas and dust. The structure and evolution of this circu…

BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey - V. X-ray properties of the Swift/BAT 70-month AGN catalog

Claudio Ricci, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael J. Koss +18

Hard X-ray ( keV) observations of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can shed light on some of the most obscured episodes of accretion onto supermassive black holes. The 70-mont…

Infrared polarimetry of Mrk 231: Scattering off hot dust grains in the central core

E. Lopez-Rodriguez, C. Packham, T. J. Jones +13

We present high-angular (0.170.35 arcsec) resolution imaging polarimetric observations of Mrk 231 in the 3.1 m filter using MMT-Pol on the 6.5-m MMT, and in the 8.7 m, 10.…
