Interband Lag Variability in Active Galactic Nuclei across ZTF Data from Multiple Years
Zhen-Bo Su, Zhen-Yi Cai, Hengxiao Guo +2
Interband lags in the optical continua of active galactic nuclei (AGN) have been observed over years of monitoring, yet their physical origins remain unclear. While variable interb…
A characteristic optical variability time scale in jetted active galactic nuclei: a large gamma-ray emission sample
Dingrong Xiong, Mouyuan Sun, Jun-Xian Wang +14
The variability mechanisms from jetted AGNs are still under debate. Here the damped random walk (DRW) model, implemented through Gaussian Processe (GPs), is used to fit the l…
A Sandwich Model for Changing-Look AGNs
Qian-Qi Ma, Wei-Min Gu, Zhen-Yi Cai +4
The spectral variability of changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) occurred on timescales of years to tens of years, posing a significant challenge to the standard thin dis…
Faint AGNs Favor Unexpectedly Long Inter-band Time Lags
Ting Li, Mouyuan Sun, Xiaoyu Xu +12
Inconsistent conclusions are obtained from recent active galactic nuclei (AGNs) accretion disk inter-band time-lag measurements. While some works show that the measured time lags a…
