An Investigation of 5-year Simultaneous X-ray and Radio Light Curves of the Dwarf Seyfert Galaxy UGC 6728

Krista Lynne Smith, Macon Magno, Michael Koss

We present serendipitous simultaneous radio and X-ray light curves of the dwarf Seyfert galaxy UGC 6728 spanning 5 years. The X-ray light curve exhibits a flaring period, followed…

X-Ray Analysis of an Off-Axis Merger Stage Binary Galaxy Cluster: PSZ2 G279.79+39.09

Sibel Döner, Turgay Caglar, Krista L. Smith +4

We present an X-ray analysis of the merging galaxy cluster system PSZ2 G279.79+39.09 () using archival XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. The surface brightness image is…

Enhanced radio emission between a galaxy cluster pair

Andrea Botteon, Turgay Caglar, Sibel Döner +2

Interacting pairs of galaxy clusters offer a unique opportunity to study the properties of the gas residing in the intracluster bridge connecting them. As a consequence of the enco…

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…

Infrared-Selected Active Galactic Nuclei in the Kepler Fields

Tran Tsan, Matthew Malkan, Rick Edelson +3

We utilized the Edelson and Malkan (2012) and Stern et al. (2012) selection techniques and other methods to identify AGN candidates that were monitored during the Kepler prime and…

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…

MoonLITE: a CLPS-delivered NASA Astrophysics Pioneers lunar optical interferometer for sensitive, milliarcsecond observing

Gerard T. van Belle, David Ciardi, Daniel Hillsberry +8

MoonLITE (Lunar InTerferometry Explorer) is an Astrophysics Pioneers proposal to develop, build, fly, and operate the first separated-aperture optical interferometer in space, deli…

Rapid multi-band space-based optical timing: revolutionizing accretion physics

Krista Lynne Smith

Optical timing with rapid, seconds-to-minutes cadences with high photometric precision and gap-free long baselines is necessary for an unambiguous physical picture of accretion phe…

The BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey -- XVIII. Searching for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in the X-rays

Tingting Liu, Michael Koss, Laura Blecha +15

Theory predicts that a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) could be observed as a luminous active galactic nucleus (AGN) that periodically varies on the order of its orbital tim…

Discovery of a ~5 day characteristic timescale in the Kepler power spectrum of Zw 229-15

Rick Edelson, Simon Vaughan, Matt Malkan +4

We present time series analyses of the full Kepler dataset of Zw 229-15. This Kepler light curve --- with a baseline greater than three years, composed of virtually continuous, eve…

Spatially-Resolved Spectroscopy of SDSS J0952+2552: a Confirmed Dual AGN

R. C. McGurk, C. E. Max, D. J. Rosario +3

Most massive galaxies contain supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in their cores. When galaxies merge, gas is driven to nuclear regions and can accrete onto the central black hole. Th…
