Extreme MgII Emission in Recently-Quenched Galaxies: A New Sample of Intermediate-Redshift Post-Starburst Quasars from the DESI Early Data Release
Margaret E. Verrico, Aayan Verma, K. Decker French +8
Post-starburst galaxies are galaxies which have recently and rapidly shut off star formation. AGN activity is often invoked to explain this rapid quenching, but most post-starburst…
The Delay Time Distribution of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions
Margaret Shepherd, K. Decker French, Jason T. Hinkle +4
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are quasi-periodic X-ray bursts observed in the nucleus of a galaxy. Multiple pieces of observational evidence link QPEs to tidal disruption events…
ATLAS22kjn (AT 2022fpx): A Coronal Line Emitter with an Early Light Curve Bump and Mid-Infrared Dust Echo
Athena C. Engholm, Jason T. Hinkle, Benjamin J. Shappee +14
We present an analysis of ATLAS22kjn (AT 2022fpx), whose high-ionisation coronal lines (CLs) and pre-peak light curve bump provide distinctive opportunities to investigate the phys…
NAPTIME: A Neural-Process Framework for Rubin Alert Classification
Nicholas Earl, Siddharth Chaini, K. Decker French +3
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time will produce a high-volume stream of irregularly sampled multiband alerts for which spectroscopic confirmation will be…
Comparison of X-ray Emission Properties of TDEs and Soft Flares from AGNs
Samaresh Mondal, K. Decker French, Jason T. Hinkle
X-ray flaring activity from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may mimic the expected emission from tidal disruption events (TDEs), thus contaminating TDE searches. To compare X-ray emi…
Tracing Radio AGN-Driven Quenching in Post-Starburst Galaxies at Cosmic Noon
Pallavi Patil, Kate Rowlands, Katherine Alatalo +14
We present a radio continuum study of photometrically selected cosmic noon (0.5<z<3) post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) in the UKIDSS Deep Survey (UDS) field to assess if radio-mode Ac…
Identifying Changing-Look AGN Transitions in Light Curve Data with the Zwicky Transient Facility
Margaret E. Verrico, K. Decker French, Vivienne F. Baldassare +10
Changing-Look AGN (CL-AGN) are AGN which transition between Seyfert types, challenging AGN unification models. Most CL-AGN have been identified via repeat spectroscopy, making it d…
A Multiwavelength Evaluation of AGN in the Post-Starburst Phase
Yuanze Luo, Kate Rowlands, Katherine Alatalo +14
The quenching of star formation is a crucial phase in galaxy evolution. Although active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback has been proposed as a key driver of this transition, the lac…
