GravityCam: Wide-field Imaging Surveys in the Visible from the Ground
C. Mackay, M. Dominik, I. A. Steele +13
GravityCam is a new concept of ground-based imaging instrument capable of delivering significantly sharper images from the ground than is normally possible without adaptive optics.…
BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey - V. X-ray properties of the Swift/BAT 70-month AGN catalog
Claudio Ricci, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael J. Koss +18
Hard X-ray ( keV) observations of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can shed light on some of the most obscured episodes of accretion onto supermassive black holes. The 70-mont…
X-ray bolometric corrections for Compton-thick active galactic nuclei
M. Brightman, M. Baloković, D. R. Ballantyne +16
We present X-ray bolometric correction factors, (), for Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGN) with the aim of testing AGN torus models, prob…
A New Population of Compton-Thick AGN Identified Using the Spectral Curvature Above 10 keV
Michael J. Koss, R. Assef, M. Balokovic +18
We present a new metric that uses the spectral curvature (SC) above 10 keV to identify Compton-thick AGN in low-quality Swift BAT X-ray data. Using NuSTAR, we observe nine high SC-…
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…
Determining the covering factor of Compton-thick active galactic nuclei with NuSTAR
M. Brightman, M. Balokovic, D. Stern +19
The covering factor of Compton-thick obscuring material associated with the torus in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is at present best understood through the fraction of sources exhi…
