Simulating X-ray Reverberation in the UV-Emitting Regions of Active Galactic Nuclei Accretion Disks with 3D Multi-Frequency Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations
Amy Secunda, Yan-Fei Jiang, Jenny E. Greene
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) light curves observed with different wavebands show that the variability in longer wavelength bands lags the variability in shorter wavelength bands. M…
Magnetorotational Instability in a Swirling Partially Ionized Gas
Amy Secunda, Peter Donnel, Hantao Ji +1
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) has been proposed as the method of angular momentum transport that enables accretion in astrophysical discs. However, for weakly-ionized dis…
Negative Lags on the Viscous Timescale in Quasar Photometry and Prospects for Detecting More with LSST
Amy Secunda, Jenny E. Greene, Yan-Fei Jiang +2
The variability of quasar light curves can be used to study the structure of quasar accretion disks. For example, continuum reverberation mapping uses delays between variability in…
