Extreme AGN Variability in WISE: Powerful Flares and Candidate Tidal Disruption Events in AGN
Satya Teja Anuraag Upadhyayula, Daniel Stern, Kishalay De +7
We present first results from a systematic study of extreme mid-infrared variability of active galaxies across the -year baseline of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (W…
A Suppressed Volumetric Rate of High-Luminosity Mid-Infrared Selected Tidal Disruption Events
Prajna Nair, Christos Panagiotou, Megan Masterson +4
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) serve as direct probes of the population of supermassive black holes in the center of galaxies and are nowadays regularly detected in optical wide-fi…
Discovery of Quasar Variability and Early Accretion Disk Signatures at Cosmic Dawn
Gene C. K. Leung, Anna-Christina Eilers, Christos Panagiotou +12
In the nearby universe, quasars are well known to exhibit variability in their brightness over time, offering a powerful tool to probe the physics of accretion onto the SMBH and di…
Radial Velocity Evidence for a Post-Mass-Transfer Massive Binary System NaSt1
Kittipong Wangnok, Samaporn Tinyanont, Ryan M. Lau +11
We present multi-epoch high-resolution optical spectroscopy () of the emission-line object NaSt1 to test its proposed binary nature, along with long-term multiba…
Ghosts of eruptions past: Searching for historical Galactic supernovae using variable thermal dust echoes and machine learning
Justin Vega, Kishalay De, Ashish Mahabal +4
The Galactic core-collapse supernova (SN) rate is estimated at per century; however, no optically visible SN has been discovered in the past 400 years. Although recor…
Testing the Association of Supermassive Black Hole Infrared Flares and High-energy Neutrinos
Megan Wang, Christos Panagiotou, Kishalay De +3
The physical origin of the observed cosmic neutrinos remains an open question and the subject of active research. While matter accretion onto supermassive black holes is long thoug…
