Herschel Far-Infrared Photometry of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope Active Galactic Nuclei Sample of the Local Universe. II. SPIRE Observations

T. Taro Shimizu, Marcio Melendez, Richard F. Mushotzky +3

We present far-infrared (FIR) and submillimeter photometry from the Herschel Space Observatory's Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) for 313 nearby z<0.05 active gala…

On the relation of optical obscuration and X-ray absorption in Seyfert galaxies

L. Burtscher, R. I. Davies, J. Gracia-Carpio +15

The optical classification of a Seyfert galaxy and whether it is considered X-ray absorbed are often used interchangeably. But there are many borderline cases and also numerous exa…

The search for active black holes in nearby low-mass galaxies using optical and mid-IR data

Lia F. Sartori, Kevin Schawinski, Ezequiel Treister +4

We investigated AGN activity in low-mass galaxies, an important regime that can shed light onto BH formation and evolution, and their interaction with their host galaxies. We ident…

BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey II: X-ray Emission and High Ionization Optical Emission Lines

Simon Berney, Michael Koss, Benny Trakhtenbrot +17

We investigate the relationship between X-ray and optical line emission in 340 nearby AGN selected above 10 keV using Swift BAT. We find a weak correlation between the extinction c…

Decreased Specific Star Formation Rates in AGN Host Galaxies

T. Taro Shimizu, Richard F. Mushotzky, Marcio Melendez +2

We investigate the location of an ultra-hard X-ray selected sample of AGN from the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalog with respect to the main sequence (MS) of star-forming…

Broadband Observations of the Compton-thick Nucleus of NGC 3393

Michael J. Koss, C. Romero-Canizales, L. Baronchelli +16

We present new NuSTAR and Chandra observations of NGC 3393, a galaxy reported to host the smallest separation dual AGN resolved in the X-rays. While past results suggested a 150 pc…
