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…
Surveying the onset and evolution of supermassive black holes at high-z with AXIS
Nico Cappelluti, Adi Foord, Stefano Marchesi +8
The nature and origin of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) remain an open matter of debate within the scientific community. While various theoretical scenarios have been proposed, e…
BASS-XL: X-ray variability properties of unobscured Active Galactic Nuclei
Alessia Tortosa, Claudio Ricci, Patricia Arévalo +15
We investigate the X-ray variability properties of Seyfert1 Galaxies belonging to the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS). The sample includes 151 unobscured (N c…
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 XXXIII: Swift-BAT blazars and their jets through cosmic time
L. Marcotulli, M. Ajello, C. M. Urry +13
We derive the most up-to-date Swift-Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) blazar luminosity function in the 14-195 keV range, making use of a clean sample of 118 blazars detected in the BAT…
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)…
X-ray Coronal Properties of Swift/BAT-Selected Seyfert 1 Active Galactic Nuclei
Nikita Kamraj, Murray Brightman, Fiona A. Harrison +9
The corona is an integral component of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) which produces the bulk of the X-ray emission above 1--2 keV. However, many of its physical properties and the m…
BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey XXVII: Scattered X-Ray Radiation in Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei
K. K. Gupta, C. Ricci, A. Tortosa +20
Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs), also known as active galactic nuclei (AGN), are generally surrounded by large amounts of gas and dust. This surrounding material reproce…
The BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey -- XVIII. Searching for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in the X-rays
Tingting Liu, Michael Koss, Laura Blecha +15
Theory predicts that a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) could be observed as a luminous active galactic nucleus (AGN) that periodically varies on the order of its orbital tim…
BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey: XVI. General Physical Characteristics of BAT Blazars
Vaidehi S. Paliya, M. Koss, B. Trakhtenbrot +12
The recently released 105-month {\it Swift}-Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) all-sky hard X-ray survey catalog presents an opportunity to study astrophysical objects detected in the dee…
A long hard-X-ray look at the dual active galactic nuclei of M51 with NuSTAR
M. Brightman, M. Baloković, M. Koss +14
We present a broadband X-ray spectral analysis of the M51 system, including the dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) and several off-nuclear point sources. Using a deep observation by…
iPTF16fnl: a faint and fast tidal disruption event in an E+A galaxy
N. Blagorodnova, S. Gezari, T. Hung +30
We present ground-based and \textit{Swift} observations of iPTF16fnl, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey a…
