BASS XXXIX: Swift-BAT AGN with changing-look optical spectra

Matthew J. Temple, Claudio Ricci, Michael J. Koss +13

Changing-look (CL) AGN are unique probes of accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs), especially when simultaneous observations in complementary wavebands allow investigatio…

Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei

Claudio Ricci, Benny Trakhtenbrot

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are known to show flux variability over all observable timescales and across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Over the past decade, a growing numbe…

A Transient "Changing-look'' Active Galactic Nucleus Resolved on Month Timescales from First-year Sloan Digital Sky Survey V Data

Grisha Zeltyn, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael Eracleous +32

We report the discovery of a new ``changing-look'' active galactic nucleus (CLAGN) event, in the quasar SDSS J162829.17+432948.5 at z=0.2603, identified through repeat spectroscopy…

Probing the Structure and Evolution of BASS AGN through Eddington Ratios

Tonima Tasnim Ananna, C. Megan Urry, Claudio Ricci +23

We constrain the intrinsic Eddington ratio (\lamEdd ) distribution function for local AGN in bins of low and high obscuration (log NH <= 22 and 22 < log NH < 25), using the Swift-B…

BASS. XXXVI. Constraining the Local Supermassive Black Hole - Halo Connection with BASS DR2 AGN

M. C. Powell, S. W. Allen, T. Caglar +12

We investigate the connection between supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host dark matter halos in the local universe using the clustering statistics and luminosity functio…

BASS XXXIII: Swift-BAT blazars and their jets through cosmic time

L. Marcotulli, M. Ajello, C. M. Urry +13

We derive the most up-to-date Swift-Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) blazar luminosity function in the 14-195 keV range, making use of a clean sample of 118 blazars detected in the BAT…
