The Size-luminosity Relation of the AGN Torus Determined from the Comparison between Optical and Mid-infrared Variability

Minjin Kim, Suyeon Son, Luis C. Ho

We investigate the optical variability of low-redshift ($0.15<z\le 0.4$) active galactic nuclei using the multi-epoch data from the Zwicky Transient Facility. We find that a dampe…
