Investigating the evolution of the dual AGN system ESO~509-IG066
P. Kosec, M. Brightman, D. Stern +13
We analyze the evolution of the dual AGN in ESO 509-IG066, a galaxy pair located at z=0.034 whose nuclei are separated by 11 kpc. Previous observations with XMM-Newton on this dual…
The close environments of accreting massive black holes are shaped by radiative feedback
Claudio Ricci, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael J. Koss +13
The large majority of the accreting supermassive black holes in the Universe are obscured by large columns of gas and dust. The location and evolution of this obscuring material ha…
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…
BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey I: Spectral Measurements, Derived Quantities, and AGN Demographics
Michael Koss, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Claudio Ricci +20
We present the first catalog and data release of the Swift-BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS). We analyze optical spectra of the majority of AGN (77%, 641/836) detected based on t…
The Swift/BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS) -- VI. The Gamma_X - L/L_Edd relation
Benny Trakhtenbrot, Claudio Ricci, Michael J. Koss +11
We study the observed relation between accretion rate (in terms of L/L_Edd) and shape of the hard X-ray spectral energy distribution (namely the photon index Gamma_X) for a large s…
Determining the radio AGN contribution to the radio-FIR correlation using the black hole fundamental plane relation
O. Ivy Wong, M. J. Koss, K. Schawinski +5
We investigate the 1.4 GHz radio properties of 92 nearby (z<0.05) ultra hard X-ray selected Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) sample. Through…
