First detection of ultra-fast outflows in a quiescent galaxy
Yerong Xu, Malgorzata Siudek, Victor RodrÃguez Morales +7
Outflows in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are recognized as a fundamental mechanism driving the co-evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies. Although po…
The Most Luminous H Reverberation Mapping of E1821+643 Indicates the Lower Boundary of the Radius-Luminosity Relation
Sha-Sha Li, Hai-Cheng Feng, Jiancheng Wu +5
The radius-luminosity (-) relation is fundamental to active galactic nucleus (AGN) studies, enabling supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass estimates and AGN-ba…
Discovery of a Luminosity-dependent Continuum Lag in NGC 4151 from Photometric and Spectroscopic Continuum Reverberation Mapping
Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li, Mouyuan Sun +17
Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) powers active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and drives feedback that shapes galaxy evolution. Constraining AGN accretion disk structure is…
Supermassive Black Hole and Broad-line Region in NGC 5548: 2023 Reverberation Mapping Results
Wen-Zhe Xi, Kai-Xing Lu, Jin-Ming Bai +6
We present the results of the 2023 spectroscopic reverberation mapping (RM) campaign for active galactic nuclei (AGN) of NGC 5548, continuing our long-term monitoring program. Usin…
Accretion-Regulated Type Transitions in Changing-Look AGNs: Evidence from Two-Epoch Spectral Analysis
Yu-Heng Shen, Kai-Xing Lu, Wei-Jian Guo +6
The changing-look active galactic nucleus (CL-AGN), an extraordinary subpopulation of supermassive black holes, has attracted growing attention for understanding its nature. We pre…
Morpho-Photometric Classification of KiDS DR5 Sources Based on Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Star-Quasar-Galaxy Catalog
Hai-Cheng Feng, Rui Li, Nicola R. Napolitano +14
We present a novel multimodal neural network (MNN) for classifying astronomical sources in multiband ground-based observations, from optical to near infrared, to separate sources i…
