VizieR Online Data Catalog: BAT AGN spectroscopic survey. XVI. Blazars (Paliya+, 2019)

Our blazar sample is based on the 1632 sources included in the 105-month Swift-BAT catalog (Oh+, 2018, J/ApJS/235/4).

This paper makes use of redshift and black hole mass estimates from the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS), a large effort to collect optical spectra for all the Swift-BAT AGN. The Data Release 1 optical spectra were obtained from a large variety of telescopes (Koss+ 2017, J/ApJ/850/74) and can all be viewed on the BASS website. We also include 15 new Data Release 2 redshifts measurements, from Palomar, Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope, and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) that will be published shortly (K. Oh et al. 2019, in preparation) as well as a comparison black hole mass measurement from this catalog. Altogether, our final sample consists of 146 BAT blazars.

Throughout this work, we use a flat cosmology with H₀=67.8km/s/Mpc and Ω_M=0.308.
