Uncertainty-Aware Deep Learning for the Ly Forest: CNN-Based Absorber Detection and Characterization
Paryag Sharma, Vikram Khaire, Ting-Yun Cheng +2
The Ly forest is a powerful probe of the intergalactic medium and small-scale matter distribution, but deriving absorber properties traditionally requires computationally expen…
Investigating the Circumgalactic Medium through Mg II absorption coincidence
Paryag Sharma, Raghunathan Srianand, Hum Chand +1
We present a statistical measurement of the transverse coherence of Mg II absorption using a large sample of 9204 absorber-centric quasar sightline pairs from…
Circumgalactic medium of quasar host galaxies at 0.4<z<0.8 probed by strong Mg II absorption
Paryag Sharma, Raghunathan Srianand, Hum Chand +1
Using a sample of 166 projected quasar pairs we investigate the influence of active galactic nuclei on the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the quasar host galaxies probed using stro…
Brightness and colour variability in NLSy1s
Madhu Sudan, Hum Chand, Paul J. Wiita +1
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), with its extensive optical monitoring capabilities, has provided an unprecedented opportunity to study the long-term variability of active gala…
On the incidence of weak and strong Mg II absorbers towards the Flat and Steep Spectrum Radio quasars
Ritish Kumar, Sapna Mishra, Hum Chand
The incidence rate of Mg II absorbers per unit redshift path (dN/dz) towards quasar sightlines has been used to probe the interaction between quasar jets and surrounding gas clouds…
