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 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 spect…
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 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 B…
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…
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…
