BASS LII: The prevalence of double-peaked broad lines at low accretion rates among hard X-ray selected AGN
Charlotte Ward, Michael J. Koss, Michael Eracleous +18
A fraction of active galactic nuclei (AGN) have double-peaked H, H and Mg II broad lines attributed to emission from rotating gas in the accretion disk. Using optical spectro…

Miguel Parra Tello, Franz E. Bauer, Demetra De Cicco +20
We present morphological classifications for the hosts of 1189 hard X-ray selected (14-195 keV) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the Swift-BAT 105-month catalog as part of the BA…
AGN with massive black holes have closer galactic neighbors: k-Nearest-Neighbor statistics of an unbiased sample of AGN at z~0.03
A. Mhatre, M. C. Powell, S. Yuan +10
The large-scale environments of active galactic nuclei (AGN) reveal important information on the growth and evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Previous AGN clustering m…
BASS XLVII: 22 GHz Radio Atlas of Swift-BAT Selected AGN
Macon Magno, Krista L. Smith, O. Ivy Wong +16
We present the third phase of the largest high-frequency, high-resolution imaging survey of 231 nearby, hard X-ray selected AGN, with a very high detection fraction. T…
BASS-XL: X-ray variability properties of unobscured Active Galactic Nuclei
Alessia Tortosa, Claudio Ricci, Patricia Arévalo +15
We investigate the X-ray variability properties of Seyfert1 Galaxies belonging to the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS). The sample includes 151 unobscured (N c…
BASS XXXV. The $M_\rm{BH}$-$σ_\rm{\star}$ Relation of 105-Month Swift-BAT Type 1 AGNs
Turgay Caglar, Michael J. Koss, Leonard Burtscher +21
We present two independent measurements of stellar velocity dispersions ( $σ_\rm{\star}$ ) from the Ca\,H+K \& Mg\,\textsc{i} region (3880--5550~Å) and the Calcium Triplet region (…
BASS XXXIX: Swift-BAT AGN with changing-look optical spectra
Matthew J. Temple, Claudio Ricci, Michael J. Koss +13
Changing-look (CL) AGN are unique probes of accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs), especially when simultaneous observations in complementary wavebands allow investigatio…
Probing the Structure and Evolution of BASS AGN through Eddington Ratios
Tonima Tasnim Ananna, C. Megan Urry, Claudio Ricci +23
We constrain the intrinsic Eddington ratio (\lamEdd ) distribution function for local AGN in bins of low and high obscuration (log NH <= 22 and 22 < log NH < 25), using the Swift-B…
