Resolved Molecular Gas Observations of MaNGA Post-starbursts Reveal a Tumultuous Past

Justin Atsushi Otter, Kate Rowlands, Katherine Alatalo +24

Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) have recently and rapidly quenched their star-formation, thus they are an important way to understand how galaxies transition from star-forming late-…

Resolving the Vicinity of Supermassive Black Holes with Gravitational Microlensing

Henry Best, Joshua Fagin, Georgios Vernardos +1

In the near future, wide field surveys will discover 1000's of new strongly lensed quasars, and these will be monitored with unprecedented cadence by the Legacy Survey of Space and…

Aligning Retrograde Nuclear Cluster Orbits with an Active Galactic Nucleus Accretion Disc

Syeda S. Nasim, Gaia Fabj, Freddy Caban +6

Stars and stellar remnants orbiting a supermassive black hole (SMBH) can interact with an active galactic nucleus (AGN) disc. Over time, prograde orbiters (inclination $i<90^{\circ…

Dwarf AGNs from Variability for the Origins of Seeds (DAVOS): Intermediate-mass black hole demographics from optical synoptic surveys

Colin J. Burke, Yue Shen, Xin Liu +4

We present a phenomenological forward Monte Carlo model for forecasting the population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in dwarf galaxies observable via their optical variability.…

RESOLVE and ECO: Finding Low-Metallicity Dwarf AGN Candidates Using Optimized Emission-Line Diagnostics

Mugdha S. Polimera, Sheila J. Kannappan, Chris T. Richardson +6

Existing star-forming vs. active galactic nucleus (AGN) classification schemes using optical emission-line diagnostics mostly fail for low-metallicity and/or highly star-forming ga…

Effects of an Immortal Stellar Population in AGN Disks

Adam S. Jermyn, Alexander J. Dittmann, B. McKernan +2

Stars are likely embedded in the gas disks of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Theoretical models predict that in the inner regions of the disk these stars accrete rapidly, with fresh…
