NGC 3227 Blinks: An Extreme Changing-Look Event in a Seyfert Galaxy
Kaiwen Zhang, Michael S. Brotherton, Pu Du +10
We report a rapid optical changing-look event in the Seyfert galaxy NGC 3227: the optical continuum faded by more than 70% and broad H-beta emission nearly disappeared within weeks…
Cascade: GPU-Accelerated Out-of-Core Suffix Array Construction for LLM Corpora
Jamshed Khan, Prashant Pandey
Suffix arrays power deduplication, contamination testing, and training data attribution over the corpora used to train large language models, and must be rebuilt for every new corp…
Diverse properties of electron Forbush decreases revealed by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer
F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +147
The Forbush decrease (FD) of cosmic rays is an important probe of the interplanetary environment disturbed by solar activities. In this work, we study the properties of 8 FDs elect…
Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XV. Reverberation Mapping of Mg II Emission Lines
Hua-Rui Bai, Pu Du, Chen Hu +25
As the 15th paper in a series reporting on a large reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of super-Eddington accreting massive black holes (SEAMBHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs),…
Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XIV. Long-Duration High-Cadence Reverberation Mapping Results for 11 PG Quasars
Chen Hu, Zhu-Heng Yao, Yong-Jie Chen +20
We report the results of a long-duration high-cadence reverberation mapping campaign of a second batch of 11 PG quasars using the 2.2m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory. This…
Monitoring AGNs with H Asymmetry. V. Long-term Variation and Evolution of the Broad H Emission-Line Profiles
Feng-Na Fang, Pu Du, Michael S. Brotherton +40
The physical origins of the diverse emission-line asymmetries observed in the spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remain incompletely understood. Monitoring the temporal varia…
Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Measuring Geometric Distances and Black Hole Masses of Four Nearby Quasars
Yan-Rong Li, Jinyi Shangguan, Jian-Min Wang +35
The geometric distances of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are challenging to measure because of their exceptionally compact structure yet vast cosmic distances. A combination of spe…
Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping (SARM) of Active Galactic Nuclei. I. The H Broad-line Region Structure and Black Hole Mass of Five Quasars
Yan-Rong Li, Chen Hu, Zhu-Heng Yao +18
We conduct a reverberation mapping (RM) campaign to spectroscopically monitor a sample of selected bright active galactic nuclei with large anticipated broad-line region (BLR) size…
Monitoring AGNs with H Asymmetry. IV. First Reverberation Mapping Results of 14 AGNs
T. E. Zastrocky, Michael S. Brotherton, Pu Du +41
We report first-time reverberation mapping results for 14 AGNs from the ongoing Monitoring AGNs with H Asymmetry campaign (MAHA). These results utilize optical spectra obtained…
Long-term multiwavelength monitoring and reverberation mapping of NGC 2617 during a changing-look event
V. L. Oknyansky, M. S. Brotherton, S. S. Tsygankov +32
We present the results of photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaigns of the changing look AGN NGC~2617 carried out from 2016 until 2022 and covering the wavelength range fr…
Broad-line region in NGC 4151 monitored by two decades of reverberation mapping campaigns. I. Evolution of structure and kinematics
Yong-Jie Chen, Dong-Wei Bao, Shuo Zhai +33
We report the results of long-term reverberation mapping (RM) campaigns of the nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN) NGC 4151, spanning from 1994 to 2022, based on archived observati…

Dong-Wei Bao, Michael S. Brotherton, Pu Du +42
In this third paper of the series reporting on the reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of active galactic nuclei with asymmetric H emission-line profiles, we present results for…
The redshift dependence of Alcock-Paczynski effect: cosmological constraints from the current and next generation observations
Xiao-Dong Li, Haitao Miao, Xin Wang +5
The tomographic Alcock-Paczynski (AP) test is a robust large-scale structure (LSS) measurement that receives little contamination from the redshift space distortion (RSD). It has p…
Non-parametric dark energy reconstruction using the tomographic Alcock-Paczynski test
Zhenyu Zhang, Gan Gu, Xiaoma Wang +7
The tomographic Alcock-Paczynski (AP) method can result in tight cosmological constraints by using small and intermediate clustering scales of the large scale structure (LSS) of th…
Beta-Skeleton Analysis of the Cosmic Web
Feng Fang, Jaime Forero-Romero, Graziano Rossi +2
The -skeleton is a mathematical method to construct graphs from a set of points that has been widely applied in the areas of image analysis, machine learning, visual perception,…
