The CO(3-2)/CO(1-0) luminosity line ratio in nearby star-forming galaxies and AGN from xCOLD GASS, BASS and SLUGS
Isabella Lamperti, Amélie Saintonge, Michael Koss +11
We study the r31=L'CO(3-2)/L'CO(1-0) luminosity line ratio in a sample of nearby (z < 0.05) galaxies: 25 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) from the xCOLD GASS survey, 36 hard X-ray sele…
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…
BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey -- XIX: Type 1 versus Type 2 AGN dichotomy from the point of view of ionized outflows
A. F. Rojas, E. Sani, I. Gavignaud +18
We present a detailed study of ionized outflows in a large sample of ~650 hard X-ray detected AGN. Using optical spectroscopy from the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS) we are ab…
Searching for Super-Eddington Quasars using a Photon Trapping Accretion Disc Model
Quentin Pognan, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Tullia Sbarrato +2
Accretion onto black holes at rates above the Eddington limit has long been discussed in the context of supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation and evolution, providing a possible…
A forward modelling approach to AGN variability -- Method description and early applications
Lia F. Sartori, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Kevin Schawinski +3
We present a numerical framework for the variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN), which links the variability of AGN over a broad range of timescales and luminosities to the ob…
BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey -- XIII. The nature of the most luminous obscured AGN in the low-redshift universe
Rudolf E. Bär, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Kyuseok Oh +18
We present a multi wavelength analysis of 28 of the most luminous low-redshift narrow-line, ultra-hard X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) drawn from the 70 month Swift/BAT…
