Constraints on the Intranight Optical Variability of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Candidates

Wenwen Zuo, Hengxiao Guo, Wanling Liu +12

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) provide a unique regime for studying accretion variability at the low-mass end of the black hole population, yet their intranight optical vari…

The Impact of Elliptical Broad-Line Regions on Reverberation-Based Black Hole Mass Estimates

Jiancheng Wu, Haicheng Feng, Qingwen Wu +1

The virial factor is critical for accurate supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass measurements using reverberation mapping (RM) and the radius--luminosity (--) relation, yet…

X-ray Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in Active Galactic Nuclei and Their Implications for the Changing Look Phenomenon

Mouyuan Sun, Shuying Zhou, Jihong Liu +12

X-ray timing of active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides a unique probe of gas accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), which trace gas dyn…

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…

AT2021aeuk: A Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event Candidate in a Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy

Jingbo Sun, Hengxiao Guo, Minfeng Gu +13

A black hole (BH) can tear apart a star that ventures within its tidal radius, producing a luminous flare as the stellar debris falls back, known as a tidal disruption event (TDE).…

An Intermediate-mass Black Hole Lurking in A Galactic Halo Caught Alive during Outburst

C. -C. Jin, D. -Y. Li, N. Jiang +137

Stellar-mass and supermassive black holes abound in the Universe, whereas intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) of ~10^2-10^5 solar masses in between are largely missing observatio…

A fast X-ray transient from a weak relativistic jet associated with a type Ic-BL supernova

H. Sun, W. -X. Li, L. -D. Liu +163

Massive stars end their lives as core-collapse supernovae, amongst which some extremes are broad-lined type Ic supernovae from Wolf-Rayet stars associated with long-duration gamma-…
