Spatially resolved optical and mid-infrared spectroscopy of SDSS1335+0728: implications for the origin of the Ansky event
P. Sánchez-Sáez, M. Masterson, L. Hernández-García +25
The galaxy SDSS1335+0728 brightened abruptly in December 2019 (the Ansky event) and has since been confirmed as the host of extreme X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) of debated…
Spectroscopic Alerts for the Time-Domain Era
Alejandra Melo, Paula Sanchez-Saez, Valentin D. Ivanov +13
Time-domain astronomy is entering an era of unprecedented discovery driven by wide-field, high-cadence surveys such as LSST, Roman, Euclid, SKA, and PLATO. While some of these faci…
AGN STORM 2. XI. Spectroscopic reverberation mapping of the hot dust in Mrk 817
Hermine Landt, Benjamin D. Boizelle, Michael S. Brotherton +41
The AGN Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping 2 (STORM 2) campaign targeted Mrk 817 with intensive multi-wavelength monitoring and found its soft X-ray emission to be s…
Continuum Reverberation Mapping of Accretion Disks Surrounding Supermassive Black Hole Binaries: Observational Signatures
Yi-Xin Fu, Yan-Rong Li, Jian-Min Wang +9
It has remained challenging to reliably identify sub-parsec supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), despite them being expected to be ubiquitous. We propose a new method using m…
The Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: First Detection of Mid-Infrared Lags in Prototypical IMBHs in NGC 4395 and POX 52
Jingbo Sun, Hengxiao Guo, Wenwen Zuo +25
The search for robust evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is crucial for understanding black hole seeding process and the formation of supermassive black holes in the…
Time Evolution of Mg II in SDSS J2320+0024: Implications for a Subparsec Binary Supermassive Black Hole System
Marta Fatović, Dragana Ilić, Andjelka B. Kovačević +8
Here we present results from our spectroscopic follow-up of SDSS J2320+0024, a candidate binary supermassive black hole (SMBH) with a suspected sub-pc separation, identified by a 2…
IceCube AGN Neutrino candidate PKS 1717+177: Dark deflector bends nuclear jet
S. Britzen, A. B. Kovačević, M. Zajaček +8
The BL Lac Object PKS 1717+177 has been identified as potential neutrino-emitting AGN in the point source stacking analysis of IceCube data. We explore peculiarities in the morphol…
AGN STORM 2. VII. A Frequency-resolved Map of the Accretion Disk in Mrk 817: Simultaneous X-ray Reverberation and UVOIR Disk Reprocessing Time Lags
Collin Lewin, Erin Kara, Aaron J. Barth +35
X-ray reverberation mapping is a powerful technique for probing the innermost accretion disk, whereas continuum reverberation mapping in the UV, optical, and infrared (UVOIR) revea…
AGN STORM 2: IX. Studying the Dynamics of the Ionized Obscurer in Mrk 817 with High-resolution X-ray Spectroscopy
Fatima Zaidouni, Erin Kara, Peter Kosec +45
We present the results of the XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations taken as part of the ongoing, intensive multi-wavelength monitoring program of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817 by the…
From Data to Software to Science with the Rubin Observatory LSST
Katelyn Breivik, Andrew J. Connolly, K. E. Saavik Ford +97
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) dataset will dramatically alter our understanding of the Universe, from the origins of the Solar System to the…
Detecting subparsec super-massive binary black holes: Long termmonitoring perspective
Luka Č. Popović, Saša Simić, Anđelka Kovačević +1
Here we consider the perspective to detect sub-pc super-massive binary black-hole (SMBBH) systems using long-term photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaigns of active galac…
Comparative analysis of the influence of Sgr A* and nearby active galactic nuclei on the mass loss of known exoplanets
Agata M. Wisłocka, Andjelka B. Kovačević, Amedeo Balbi
The detailed evolution of exoplanetary atmospheres has been the subject of decade-long studies. Only recently, investigations began on the possible atmospheric mass loss caused by…
