16 new quasars at the end of the reionization unveiled by self-supervised learning
L. N. Martínez-Ramírez, Julien Wolf, Silvia Belladitta +8
Luminous quasars at are key probes of early supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth, massive galaxy evolution, and intergalactic medium properties during cosmic reionization.…
Transient Relativistic Iron Emission Line from an X-ray Flaring Supermassive Black Hole
Xiurui Zhao, Marco Ajello, Francesca Civano +16
We report the discovery of the first transient relativistic iron Kα line in an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) J1047+5907. The line was detected 21.5 days (rest-frame) after an X-ray…
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 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…
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. 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 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…
Evolution of the Dual AGN in Mrk 266: A Young AGN and a Rotation Dominated Disk in the SW Nucleus
Mason Ruby, Francisco Müller-Sánchez, Julia M. Comerford +6
Dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) offer a unique opportunity to probe the relationship between super massive black holes (SMBH) and their host galaxies as well as the role of major…
Characterizing the Broadband Reflection Spectrum of MAXI J1803-298 During its 2021 Outburst with NuSTAR and NICER
Oluwashina Adegoke, Javier Garcia, Riley Connors +12
MAXI J1803-298 is a transient black hole candidate discovered in May of 2021 during an outburst that lasted several months. Multiple X-ray observations reveal recurring "dipping" i…
BASS XXIX: The near-infrared view of the BLR: the effects of obscuration in BLR characterisation
Ricci F., Treister E., Bauer F. E. +24
Virial black hole mass () determination directly involves knowing the broad line region (BLR) clouds velocity distribution, their distance from the central supermassive bla…
