Two years of optical and NIR observations of the superluminous supernova UID 30901 discovered by the UltraVISTA SN survey

Emilio D. Hueichapán, Carlos Contreras V., Regis Cartier +6

We present deep optical and near-infrared photometry of UID 30901, a superluminous supernova (SLSN) discovered during the UltraVISTA survey. The observations were obtained with VIR…

A random forest-based selection of optically variable AGN in the VST-COSMOS field

D. De Cicco, F. E. Bauer, M. Paolillo +6

The survey of the COSMOS field by the VLT Survey Telescope is an appealing testing ground for variability studies of active galactic nuclei (AGN). With 54 r-band visits over 3.3 yr…

Reverberation Mapping of Luminous Quasars at High-z

Paulina Lira, Shai Kaspi, Hagai Netzer +6

We present Reverberation Mapping (RM) results for 17 high-redshift, high-luminosity quasars with good quality R-band and emission line light curves. We are able to measure statisti…
