AT2021yky: A Fast-Rising Optical Transient with Evolving Broad Hydrogen Emission Consistent with an Ambiguous Nuclear Transient
Paarmita Pandey, Jason T. Hinkle, Christopher Kochanek +14
Nuclear transients are powerful probes of supermassive black hole properties, offering insight into black hole mass, accretion physics, and the structure of galactic nuclei. Among…
Unraveling the Nature of the Nuclear Transient AT2020adpi
Paarmita Pandey, Jason Hinkle, Christopher Kochanek +13
Transient events associated with supermassive black holes provide rare opportunities to study accretion and the environments of supermassive black holes. We present a multiwaveleng…
Investigating the Gamma-Ray Emission from Explosive Dispersal Outflows with Fermi-LAT
Paarmita Pandey, Stephen C. Lenker, Laura A. Lopez +6
We present the first systematic study of explosive dispersal outflows (EDOs) as potential sources of high-energy emission in the Milky Way. EDOs are energetic outflows produced dur…
The AGN Optical Variability Fundamental Plane
Ashley Tarrant, Jason Hinkle, Benjamin Shappee +10
We investigate the relationship between AGN optical variability timescales, amplitudes, and supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses using homogeneous light curves from the All-Sky Au…
