The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Bringing the Cosmic X-ray Background into Focus
Francesca Civano, Xiurui Zhao, Peter Boorman +29
Since the discovery of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB), astronomers have strived to understand the accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) contributing to its peak in the 10-4…
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…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): The Future of Hard X-ray Dual AGN Science
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Peter G. Boorman, Kimberly A. Weaver +15
A fundamental goal of modern-day astrophysics is to understand the connection between supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth and galaxy evolution. Merging galaxies offer one of the…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): The Circum-nuclear Environment of Growing Supermassive Black Holes
P. G. Boorman, N. Torres-Albà, A. Annuar +32
Ever since the discovery of the first Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), substantial observational and theoretical effort has been invested into understanding how massive black holes ha…
LEM All-Sky Survey: Soft X-ray Sky at Microcalorimeter Resolution
Ildar Khabibullin, Massimiliano Galeazzi, Akos Bogdan +23
The Line Emission Mapper (LEM) is an X-ray Probe with with spectral resolution ~2 eV FWHM from 0.2 to 2.5 keV and effective area >2,500 cm at 1 keV, covering a 33 arcmin diamet…
Exploring X-ray Properties of Low Metallicity Dwarf Galaxies
Jenna M. Cann, Kimberly A. Weaver, Ryan W. Pfeifle +3
One of the primary outstanding questions in extragalactic astronomy is the formation and early evolution of the supermassive black holes that are seen in nearly every massive galax…
BASS XXXIV: A Catalog of the Nuclear Mm-wave Continuum Emission Properties of AGNs Constrained on Scales 100--200 pc
Taiki Kawamuro, Claudio Ricci, Richard F. Mushotzky +25
We present a catalog of the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) continuum properties of 98 nearby ( 0.05) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected from the 70-month Swift/BAT hard X-ray c…
NuSTAR Observations of Four Mid-IR Selected Dual AGN Candidates in Galaxy Mergers
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Kimberly Weaver, Shobita Satyapal +5
Mergers of galaxies are a ubiquitous phenomenon in the Universe and represent a natural consequence of the ``bottom-up'' mass accumulation and galaxy evolution cosmological paradig…
VaDAR: Varstrometry for Dual AGN using Radio interferometry
Emma Schwartzman, Tracy E. Clarke, Kristina Nyland +5
Binary and dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) are an important observational tool for studying the formation and dynamical evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBHs)…
The Messy Nature of Fiber Spectra: Star-Quasar Pairs Masquerading as Dual Type 1 AGNs
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Barry Rothberg, Kimberly A. Weaver +5
Theoretical studies predict that the most significant growth of supermassive black holes occurs in late-stage mergers, coinciding with the manifestation of dual active galactic nuc…
