BASS LIV. Physical Properties of AGN-Hosting Galaxy Mergers from Multiwavelength SED Fitting
Marco Troncoso, Ezequiel Treister, Alejandra Rojas +17
Galaxy mergers are believed to play an important role in triggering rapid supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. As merging nuclei approach each other, the physical properties of t…
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 spectro…
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…
Insights for Early Massive Black Hole Growth from JWST Detection of the [Ne v] λ3427 Emission Line
Benny Trakhtenbrot, Claudio Ricci, Ezequiel Treister +7
We use the narrow [Ne v] 3427 emission line detected in the recently published JWST spectra of two galaxies, at z = 6.9 and 5.6, to study the key properties of the active galact…
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…
The Compton-thick AGN Population and the Distribution of Low-mass AGN in our Cosmic Backyard
A. Annuar, D. M. Alexander, P. Gandhi +21
We present a census of the Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nucleus (AGN) population and the column density () distribution of AGN in our cosmic backyard using a mid-…
ALMA observation of evolving magnetized corona in the radio-quiet changing-state AGN NGC 1566
Arghajit Jana, Claudio Ricci, Sophie M. Venselaar +9
The origin of compact millimeter (mm) continuum emission from radio-quiet AGNs (RQAGNs) is still not fully understood. Changing-state AGNs (CSAGNs) display rapid and strong variabi…
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…
Estimating Black Hole Masses in Obscured AGN from X-ray and Optical Emission Line Luminosities
S. LaMassa, I. Farrow, C. M. Urry +6
We test a novel method for estimating black hole masses () in obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) that uses proxies to measure the full-width half maximum of broad H$…
BASS XLV: Quantifying AGN Selection Effects in the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy Survey with BASS
Yarone M. Tokayer, Michael J. Koss, C. Megan Urry +11
Deep extragalactic X-ray surveys, such as the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy field (CCLS), are prone to be biased against active galactic nuclei (AGN) with high column densities due to thei…
