The BAT AGN Spectropic Survey (BASS) DR2, A Thousand New Spectra

The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) instrument on the Swift satellite has surveyed the sky to unprecedented depth, increasing the all sky hard X-ray sensitivity by a factor of more than 20 compared to previous satellites. The goal of the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS) is to complete the first large (>1000) survey of hard X-ray selected AGN with optical spectroscopy. Here we present an overview of the second data release of spectra from Palomar/Doublespec and VLT/Xshooter and several other telescopes which includes redshift determination, absorption and emission line measurements, and black hole mass and accretion rate estimates via broad lines and velocity dispersion for over 1000 AGN.
