NEXUS: Discovery of a Luminous Young Transient at
Ming-Yang Zhuang, Yue Shen, Lei Hu +8
We report the discovery of AT 2026abck, a young transient in a star-forming galaxy at , identified from Year-2 observations of the NEXUS JWST treasury program. AT…
NEXUS: Transient Searches and First Results from Year One Observations
Ming-Yang Zhuang, Lei Hu, Justin D. R. Pierel +10
We describe ongoing efforts of high-redshift transient searches using multi-epoch NIRCam imaging (F200W+F444W) and NIRSpec MSA/PRISM spectroscopy from the NEXUS JWST multi-cycle Tr…
NEXUS: Spectral Variability of Little Red Dots and Blue Active Galactic Nuclei at
Zachary Stone, Yue Shen, Ming-Yang Zhuang +4
We present spectral measurements for 17 Little Red Dots (LRDs) and 14 blue broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at using multi-epoch JWST NIRSpec MSA s…
The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper
SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273
This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…
NEXUS: Abundance, Environments, and Spectral Diversity of Little Red Dots from the NIRSpec MSA Sample
Zhiwei Pan, Ming-Yang Zhuang, Yue Shen +6
We present a comprehensive study of Little Red Dots (LRDs) at 2.3 < z < 7.4 using NIRCam photometry and NIRSpec MSA/PRISM spectra from the ongoing NEXUS program. Photometric select…
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…
JWST's PEARLS: A clumpy ring galaxy at
David Vizgan, Ming-Yang Zhuang, Ian Smail +22
Ring galaxies are an uncommon class of galaxies whose morphology is closely related to dynamical processes that govern galaxy evolution. Some ring galaxies, known as "collisional r…
Transient Relativistic Iron Emission Line from an X-ray Flaring Supermassive Black Hole
Xiurui Zhao, Marco Ajello, Francesca Civano +16
We report the discovery of the first transient relativistic iron Kα line in an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) J1047+5907. The line was detected 21.5 days (rest-frame) after an X-ray…
Too Quiet for Comfort: Local Little Red Dots Lack Variability over Decades
Colin J. Burke, Zachary Stone, Yue Shen +1
Several local () metal-poor dwarf AGNs have remarkably similar properties to those of high-redshift Little Red Dots (LRDs), and are recently proposed to be local ana…
NEXUS: A Search for Nuclear Variability with the First Two JWST NIRCam Epochs
Zachary Stone, Yue Shen, Ming-Yang Zhuang +10
The multi-cycle JWST Treasury program NEXUS will obtain cadenced imaging and spectroscopic observations around the North Ecliptic Pole during 2024-2028. Here we report a systematic…
The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210
Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…
The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: A Kinematically Variable Broad-Line Region and Consequences for Masses of Luminous Quasars
Logan B. Fries, Jonathan R. Trump, Keith Horne +27
We present a velocity-resolved reverberation mapping analysis of the hypervariable quasar RM160 (SDSS J141041.25+531849.0) at z = 0.359 with 153 spectroscopic epochs of data repres…
The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: Multi-Line Dynamical Modeling of a Highly Variable Active Galactic Nucleus with Decade-long Light Curves
Zachary Stone, Yue Shen, Scott F. Anderson +15
We present dynamical modeling of the broad-line region (BLR) for the highly variable AGN SDSS J141041.25+531849.0 () using photometric and spectroscopic monitoring data…
High-quality Extragalactic Legacy-field Monitoring (HELM) with DECam

TESS photometry of the nova eruption in V606 Vul: asymmetric photosphere and multiple ejections?
Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +70
Lightcurves of many classical novae deviate from the canonical "fast rise - smooth decline" pattern and display complex variability behavior. We present the first TESS-space-photom…
