Feature-driven anomaly flagging in obscured active galactic nucleus light curves with autoencoders
Natale De Bonis, Demetra De Cicco, Stefano Cavuoti +5
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most complex classes of astrophysical objects, displaying a wide range of variability and observational properties. Identifying unusual A…
VAR-PZnn: A machine-learning framework for AGN photometric redshifts using color and variability-based features
S. Satheesh-Sheeba, P. Sánchez-Sáez, R. J. Assef +39
Photometric redshift estimation for active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remains a fundamental challenge for current and upcoming large-scale photometric surveys. Traditional spectral ene…
A Meta-Learning Framework for Multitask Reverberation Mapping in Active Galactic Nuclei
Aman N. Raju, Andjelka B. Kovačević, Andjelka B. KovaÄeviÄ +15
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to observe active galactic nuclei (AGN) at sky densities of approximately 1000-4000 per sq. deg, en…
AGN STORM 2. XII. Ground-Based Optical Photometry and Lag Measurements of Mrk 817
John W. Montano, Aaron J. Barth, Keith Horne +40
We present the ground-based imaging campaign and light curves of Markarian 817 as part of the multiwavelength monitoring program AGN STORM\,2. Observations were carried out over 1.…
Continuum Reverberation in Bright Quasars Using NASA/ATLAS
Zachary Steyn, Christian Wolf, Christopher Onken +5
Variable continuum emission from AGN can be used to probe the structure of their accretion disks via reverberation mapping. Assuming a variable, hot inner light source irradiates t…
Scalable and Robust Multiband Modeling of AGN Light Curves in Rubin-LSST
Weixiang Yu, John J. Ruan, Colin J. Burke +22
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will monitor tens of millions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) for a period of 10 years with an average caden…
