A redshifted excess in the broad emission lines after the flare of the -ray narrow-line Seyfert 1 PKS 2004-447
W. Hon, M. Berton, E. Sani +6
PKS 2004-447 is a narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) harbouring a relativistic jet with gamma-ray emission. On 2019-10-25, the Fermi-Large Area Telescope captured a -ray flare from th…
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…
BASS XXXII: Studying the Nuclear Mm-wave Continuum Emission of AGNs with ALMA at Scales 100-200 pc
Taiki Kawamuro, Claudio Ricci, Masatoshi Imanishi +25
To understand the origin of nuclear ( 100 pc) millimeter-wave (mm-wave) continuum emission in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we systematically analyzed sub-arcsec resolut…
BASS XXVI: DR2 Host Galaxy Stellar Velocity Dispersions
Michael J. Koss, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Claudio Ricci +18
We present new central stellar velocity dispersions for 484 Sy 1.9 and Sy 2 from the second data release of the Swift/BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS DR2). This constitutes the…
BASS XXII: The BASS DR2 AGN Catalog and Data
Michael J. Koss, Claudio Ricci, Benny Trakhtenbrot +32
We present the AGN catalog and optical spectroscopy for the second data release of the Swift BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS DR2). With this DR2 release we provide 1425 optical…
BASS XXV: DR2 Broad-line Based Black Hole Mass Estimates and Biases from Obscuration
Julian E. Mejıa-Restrepo, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael J. Koss +26
We present measurements of broad emission lines and virial estimates of supermassive black hole masses () for a large sample of ultra-hard X-ray selected active galactic nu…
BASS XXIV: The BASS DR2 Spectroscopic Line Measurements and AGN Demographics
Kyuseok Oh, Michael J. Koss, Yoshihiro Ueda +17
We present the second catalog and data release of optical spectral line measurements and AGN demographics of the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey, which focuses on the of Swift-BAT har…
BASS XXXI: Outflow scaling relations in low redshift X-ray AGN host galaxies with MUSE
D. Kakkad, E. Sani, A. F. Rojas +18
Ionised gas kinematics provide crucial evidence of the impact that active galactic nuclei (AGN) have in regulating star formation in their host galaxies. Although the presence of o…
Multi-wavelength observations of the Galactic X-ray binaries IGR J20155+3827 and Swift J1713.4-4219
F. Onori, M. Fiocchi, N. Masetti +4
In recent years, thanks to the continuous surveys performed by INTEGRAL and Swift satellites, our knowledge of the hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray sky has greatly improved. As a result i…
Probing the Nature of High Redshift Weak Emission Line Quasars: A Young Quasar with a Starburst Host Galaxy
Irham Taufik Andika, Knud Jahnke, Masafusa Onoue +15
We present the discovery of PSO J083.8371+11.8482, a weak emission line quasar with extreme star formation rate at . This quasar was selected from Pan-STARRS1, UHS, and u…
Optical spectroscopic classification of 35 hard X-ray sources from the Swift-BAT 70-month catalogue
