Local Analogs of Little Red Dots: Optical Variability and Evidence for an Active Galatic Nucleus Origin
Ruqiu Lin, Zhen-Ya Zheng, Junxian Wang +9
Little red dots (LRDs) draw extensive attention because of their unique observational characteristics and apparent overabundance in the early Universe, raising new insights into ea…
Comparative analysis of missing data imputation methods for CSST survey: Impact on photometric redshift estimation performance
Ling Wang, Zhu Chen, Zhijian Luo +42
Improving the accuracy of photometric redshifts (photo-) is essential for reliable statistical studies of cosmology and galaxy evolution. However, missing photometric bands are…
Discovery of a Luminosity-dependent Continuum Lag in NGC 4151 from Photometric and Spectroscopic Continuum Reverberation Mapping
Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li, Mouyuan Sun +17
Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) powers active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and drives feedback that shapes galaxy evolution. Constraining AGN accretion disk structure is…
Optimizing Long-term Variability of AGN Light Curves. I. A Case Study with ZTF Observations in the EGS Field
Jiaqi Lin, Zhen-Ya Zheng, Bin Ma +5
Optical variability is a key observational probe for studying the accretion dynamics and central engine physics of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). The quality and completeness of li…
Joint Analysis of Optical, Near-Infrared And Mid-Infrared Variability of 4 Quasars at Redshift < 1
Lin Long, Zhen-ya Zheng, Ning Jiang +8
Amid rapid advances in time-domain astronomy, multi-wavelength (e.g., optical and infrared) time-domain studies of quasars remain scarce. Here we present a systematic analysis of f…
