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…
