New Clues to Jet Launching: The inner disks in radio loud quasars may be more stable

Zhen-Yi Cai, Yu-Han Sun, Jun-Xian Wang +3

Jet launching in radio loud (RL) quasars is one of the fundamental problems in astrophysics. Exploring the differences in the inner accretion disk properties between RL and radio q…

On the UV/optical variation in NGC 5548: new evidence against the reprocessing diagram

Fei-Fan Zhu, Jun-Xian Wang, Zhen-Yi Cai +3

The reprocessing scenario is widely adopted in literature to explain the observed tight inter-band correlation and short lags in the UV/optical variations of active galactic nuclei…

The Timescale-Dependent Color Variability of Quasars Viewed with GALEX

Fei-Fan Zhu, Jun-Xian Wang, Zhen-Yi Cai +1

In recent work done by Sun et. al., the color variation of quasars, namely the bluer-when-brighter trend, was found to be timescale-dependent using SDSS band light curves in…

Simulating the timescale dependent color variation in quasars with a revised inhomogeneous disk model

Zhen-Yi Cai, Jun-Xian Wang, Wei-Min Gu +4

The UV/optical variability of active galactic nuclei and quasars is useful for understanding the physics of the accretion disk and is gradually attributed to the stochastic fluctua…

The Discovery of Timescale-Dependent Color Variability of Quasars

Yu-Han Sun, Jun-Xian Wang, Xiao-Yang Chen +1

Quasars are variable on timescales from days to years in UV/optical, and generally appear bluer while they brighten. The physics behind the variations in fluxes and colors remains…
