Modeling Multi-band Active Galactic Nuclei Lightcurves Using an Self-supervised Attentive Neural Process Network

Tzuken Shen, Chengcheng Xin, Joshua Fagin +3

With the the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), observations of tens of millions of quasars are expected. We present a machine-learning framework based on an attentive neural…

Extreme AGN Variability in WISE: Powerful Flares and Candidate Tidal Disruption Events in AGN

Satya Teja Anuraag Upadhyayula, Daniel Stern, Kishalay De +7

We present first results from a systematic study of extreme mid-infrared variability of active galaxies across the -year baseline of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (W…

Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes. III. Mass Distribution of Hierarchical Mergers

Katherine L. Gonglewski, Amy Secunda, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +3

Active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks are a promising location for the formation of binary black holes (BBHs) that will merge on relatively short timescales and be detected by LIGO-V…

Active Galactic Nucleus Tori: Potential Birthplace to Millions of Planets

Bhupendra Mishra, Wladimir Lyra, Barry McKernan +3

The outer regions of AGN disks have temperatures similar to those of circumstellar disks, permitting dust condensation. Therefore, planet formation and growth could be active in th…

McFACTS. IV. Electromagnetic Counterparts to AGN-disk-embedded Binary Black Hole Mergers

Emily McPike, Rosalba Perna, K. E. Saavik Ford +10

The accretion disks of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are promising environments for producing binary black hole (BBH) mergers, which have been detected via gravitational waves (GWs…
