PEARLS: NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Extragalactic Survey of the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time-Domain Field V: Unraveling X-ray Spectral Variability
Samantha Creech, Francesca Civano, Daniel Wik +13
As one of the first deep time-domain surveys in the hard X-ray band, the NuSTAR campaign in the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field (NEP-TDF) offers a prime opportunity to m…
Population synthesis of active galactic nuclei based on the radiation-regulated unification model
D. Gerolymatou, S. Paltani, C. Ricci +1
X-ray surveys of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) provide direct constraints on the properties of individual AGNs, such as their emission, obscuration, and accretion rate. Previous AG…
The Distribution of Hard X-ray Selected AGN in the NEP Field
Samantha Creech, Francesca Civano, Daniel R. Wik +9
X-ray surveys are one of the most unbiased methods for detecting Compton Thick (CT; cm) AGN, which are thought to comprise up to of AGN…
Stripe 82X Data Release 3: Multiwavelength Catalog with New Spectroscopic Redshifts and Black Hole Masses
Stephanie M. LaMassa, Alessandro Peca, C. Megan Urry +10
We present the third catalog release of the wide-area (31.3 deg) Stripe 82 X-ray survey. This catalog combines previously published X-ray source properties with multiwavelength…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Bringing the Cosmic X-ray Background into Focus
Francesca Civano, Xiurui Zhao, Peter Boorman +29
Since the discovery of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB), astronomers have strived to understand the accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) contributing to its peak in the 10-4…
A High Fraction of Heavily X-ray Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei
Christopher M. Carroll, Tonima T. Ananna, Ryan C. Hickox +5
We present new estimates on the fraction of heavily X-ray obscured, Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) out to a redshift of 0.8. From a sample of 540 AGNs se…
BASS XXX: Distribution Functions of DR2 Eddington-ratios, Black Hole Masses, and X-ray Luminosities
Tonima Tasnim Ananna, Anna K. Weigel, Benny Trakhtenbrot +19
We determine the low-redshift X-ray luminosity function (XLF), active black hole mass function (BHMF), and Eddington-ratio distribution function (ERDF) for both unobscured (Type 1)…
Accretion History of AGN III: Radiative Efficiency and AGN Contribution to Reionization
Tonima Tasnim Ananna, C. Megan Urry, Ezequiel Treister +6
The cosmic history of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth is important for understanding galaxy evolution, reionization and the physics of accretion. Recent NuSTAR, Swift-BAT and…
Accretion History of AGN II: Constraints on AGN Spectral Parameters using the Cosmic X-ray Background
Tonima Tasnim Ananna, Ezequiel Treister, Claudia M. Urry +5
We constrain X-ray spectral shapes for the ensemble of AGN based on the shape of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB). Specifically, we rule out regions of X-ray spectral parameter sp…
X-ray constraints on the fraction of obscured AGN at high accretion luminosities
A. Georgakakis, M. Salvato, Z. Liu +9
The wide-area XMM-XXL X-ray survey is used to explore the fraction of obscured AGN at high accretion luminosities, , and out to re…
The Chandra COSMOS legacy survey: Energy Spectrum of the Cosmic X-ray Background and constraints on undetected populations
Nico Cappelluti, Yanxia Li, Angelo Ricarte +15
Using {\em Chandra} observations in the 2.15 deg COSMOS legacy field, we present one of the most accurate measurements of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB) spectrum to date i…
