HALO II: Constraining Hubble constant through continuum delay fitting of Fairall 9
Amit Kumar Mandal, Francisco Pozo Nuñez, Vikram Kumar Jaiswal +28
The Hubble tension remains one of the most significant unresolved problems in modern cosmology. A key question is whether it may arise from underestimated systematic uncertainties…
EP251023a: A fast X-ray transient featuring a magnetar-powered optical internal plateau followed by a steep decay
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Wei-Hua Lei +33
EP251023a is an extragalactic fast X-ray transient (eFXT) detected solely by EP without a gamma-ray counterpart. The prompt emission consists of a main emission with a duration $T_…
HALO I: Photometric continuum reverberation mapping of Fairall 9
Amit Kumar Mandal, Francisco Pozo Nuñez, Vikram Kumar Jaiswal +23
We investigate the origin of inter-band continuum time delays in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to study the structure and properties of their accretion disks. We aim to measure the…
Spectroscopic Reverberation Mapping for SARM: The Case of Mrk 1048 and Mrk 618
Shivangi Pandey, Suvendu Rakshit, S. Muneer +14
Robust extragalactic distance measurements are crucial for resolving the persistent discrepancy in the value of the Hubble constant (H)). Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), through…
Probing dust torus radius--luminosity relation: An WISE view
Ashutosh Tomar, Suvendu Rakshit, Amit Kumar Mandal +1
We present measurements of the dusty torus sizes of 51 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with a redshift of 0.8. Our analysis utilizes about 16 years of optical photometric data o…
Spectrophotometric reverberation mapping of Intermediate-mass black hole NGC 4395
Shivangi Pandey, Suvendu Rakshit, Krishan Chand +8
Understanding the origins of massive black hole seeds and their co-evolution with their host galaxy requires studying intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) and estimating their mas…
Spectro-polarimetric view of the gamma-ray emitting NLS1 1H0323+342
Jincen Jose, Suvendu Rakshit, Swayamtrupta Panda +4
The gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies are a unique class of objects that launch powerful jets from relatively lower-mass black hole systems compared to the Blazars.…
Testing particle acceleration in blazar jets with continuous high-cadence optical polarization observations
Ioannis Liodakis, Sebastian Kiehlmann, Alan P. Marscher +44
Variability can be the pathway to understanding the physical processes in astrophysical jets, however, the high-cadence observations required to test particle acceleration models a…
