Discovering Changing-Look AGN in the 6dF Galaxy Survey using ATLAS Light curves

Neelesh Amrutha, Christian Wolf, Christopher A. Onken +4

Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei (CLAGN) are characterised by extreme variations in line emission over short timescales, mostly affecting broad H lines. While a few hundred…

The accretion of a solar mass per day by a 17-billion solar mass black hole

Christian Wolf, Samuel Lai, Christopher A. Onken +5

Around a million quasars have been catalogued in the Universe by probing deeper and using new methods for discovery. However, the hardest ones to find seem to be the rarest and bri…

A redshifted excess in the broad emission lines after the flare of the -ray narrow-line Seyfert 1 PKS 2004-447

W. Hon, M. Berton, E. Sani +6

PKS 2004-447 is a narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) harbouring a relativistic jet with gamma-ray emission. On 2019-10-25, the Fermi-Large Area Telescope captured a -ray flare from th…

Discovery of the most luminous quasar of the last 9 Gyr

Christopher A. Onken, Samuel Lai, Christian Wolf +8

We report the discovery of a bright (g = 14.5 mag (AB), K = 11.9 mag (Vega)) quasar at redshift z = 0.83 -- the optically brightest (unbeamed) quasar at z > 0.4. SMSS J114447.77-43…

Finding Quasars behind the Galactic Plane. II. Spectroscopic Identifications of 204 Quasars at

Yuming Fu, Xue-Bing Wu, Linhua Jiang +21

Quasars behind the Galactic plane (GPQs) are important astrometric references and valuable probes of Galactic gas, yet the search for GPQs is difficult due to severe extinction and…
