Extreme Variability Reveals How the Eddington Ratio Regulates Coronal Power in Active Galactic Nuclei
Arghajit Jana, Claudio Ricci, Franz E. Bauer +13
The bolometric luminosity () of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is a key tracer of accretion physics, but its direct determination is often hindered by limited spectral…
Constraining the Physical Properties of Quadruply Lensed Quasars using Optical-to-X-Ray Data
Kriti Kamal Gupta, Dominique Sluse, Maarten Baes +5
Gravitational lensing of luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN; or quasars) can be used as a natural telescope to zoom in on their inner structures. With more and more lensed AGN be…
The Millimeter/X-ray Relation in Rapidly Accreting Supermassive Black Holes at
Sophie M. Venselaar, Claudio Ricci, Santiago Del Palacio +12
A tight correlation between nuclear millimeter and X-ray emission has recently been found in nearby () and low-Eddington ratio () radio-quiet Active Ga…
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 ()…
Multi-wavelength properties of changing-state active galactic nuclei: I. the evolution of soft excess and X-ray continuum
Arghajit Jana, Claudio Ricci, Alessia Tortosa +11
Changing-state active galactic nuclei (CSAGNs) exhibit rapid variability, with mass accretion rates that can change by several orders of magnitude in a few years. This provides us…
BASS LIV. Physical Properties of AGN-Hosting Galaxy Mergers from Multiwavelength SED Fitting
Marco Troncoso, Ezequiel Treister, Alejandra Rojas +17
Galaxy mergers are believed to play an important role in triggering rapid supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. As merging nuclei approach each other, the physical properties of t…
BASS LIII: The Eddington Ratio as the Primary Regulator of the Fraction of X-ray Emission in Active Galactic Nuclei
Kriti Kamal Gupta, Claudio Ricci, Alessia Tortosa +20
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) emit radiation via accretion across the entire energy spectrum. While the standard disk and corona model can somewhat describe this emission, it fails…
Insights for Early Massive Black Hole Growth from JWST Detection of the [Ne v] λ3427 Emission Line
Benny Trakhtenbrot, Claudio Ricci, Ezequiel Treister +7
We use the narrow [Ne v] 3427 emission line detected in the recently published JWST spectra of two galaxies, at z = 6.9 and 5.6, to study the key properties of the active galact…
BASS. XLIV. Morphological preferences of local hard X-ray selected AGN
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…
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…
BASS. XLIII: Optical, UV, and X-ray emission properties of unobscured Swift/BAT active galactic nuclei
Kriti K. Gupta, Claudio Ricci, Matthew J. Temple +19
We present one of the largest multiwavelength studies of simultaneous optical-to-X-ray spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local…
JWST Lensed quasar dark matter survey II: Strongest gravitational lensing limit on the dark matter free streaming length to date
Ryan E. Keeley, Anna M. Nierenberg, Daniel Gilman +20
This is the second in a series of papers in which we use JWST MIRI multiband imaging to measure the warm dust emission in a sample of 31 multiply imaged quasars, to be used as a pr…
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…
Ray-tracing simulations of the Soft X-ray Scattered Emission in obscured Active Galactic Nuclei
Jeffrey McKaig, Claudio Ricci, Stéphane Paltani +3
Most Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe are obscured. In these obscured AGN an excess is usually observed in the soft X-rays below ~2 keV above the absorbed X-ray c…
