Probing Direct Contributions of Galaxies and AGN to Cosmic Reionization in a Quasar Field J0226+0302 with JWST NIRCam and NIRSpec
Xiangyu Jin, Jinyi Yang, Feige Wang +19
We present JWST Cycle 2 NIRCam and NIRSpec observations in a quasar field J0226+0302 at z=6.5412 to probe the direct connections between the intergalactic medium (IGM), galaxies, a…
The spectral state transition of Mkn 590, a potential link between AGNs and X-ray binaries?
B. Palit, A. Rozanska, A. G. Markowitz +8
Using the decade-long multi-band \textit{Swift} observations of the changing look AGN Markarian~590, we capture a clear state transition associated with its recent changing look ev…
AGN STORM 2. XII. Ground-Based Optical Photometry and Lag Measurements of Mrk 817
John W. Montano, Aaron J. Barth, Keith Horne +40
We present the ground-based imaging campaign and light curves of Markarian 817 as part of the multiwavelength monitoring program AGN STORM\,2. Observations were carried out over 1.…
The unusually red delay spectrum of the low-mass black hole AGN NGC\,4051 as revealed by intensive continuum reverberation mapping with the Las Cumbres Observatory
Marcin Marculewicz, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban, Keith Horne +12
We present a two-year optical reverberation mapping campaign of NGC 4051, an active galactic nucleus (AGN) hosting a low-mass black hole (), using daily observ…
Cepheid-based Distances to NGC 4303 and NGC 1068
Madison Markham, Misty C. Bentz, Laura Ferrarese +2
We present Cepheid-based distances to two canonical AGN: NGC 4303 (M 61) and NGC 1068. Data were obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope with nonredundant time spacing over 12 vi…
