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…

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…

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…
