Low-Redshift Interlopers in the SDSS DR16 Quasar Catalogue

Vivek Kumar Jha, Harikumar N, Yogesh Wadadekar

High-redshift quasars () are crucial for studying early black hole growth and reionisation. SDSS Data Release 16 catalogues 655 such sources with multiple redshift estimators.…

Wild behaviour near the finish line: the Type Ibn SN 2020able and its stratified environment

L. Tartaglia, E. Cappellaro, G. Valerin +29

We present spectrophotometric observations of the Type Ibn supernova SN~2020able, along with a comprehensive analysis and modelling of its evolution. The transient occurred in SDSS…

Probing jet-induced optical variability across timescales in radio-loud NLSy1 galaxies

Vivek Kumar Jha, Anshul Kumar Sharma, Madhu Sudan +1

We investigate optical variability across multiple timescales in a sample of radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert~1 (RL-NLSy1) galaxies, including -ray detected, -ray undetected, a…

Do Low-Mass, Low-Luminosity AGNs Deviate from the Quasar Main Sequence?

Himanshu Sharma, Vivek Kumar Jha, Hum Chand +1

We present a comprehensive spectroscopic and variability-based characterisation of a sample of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) hosting low mass black holes, identified…

Exploring the Origins of Optical Variability in AGNs: Correlations with Black Hole Properties, X-ray, and Radio Emission

Vivek Kumar Jha, Debbijoy Bhattacharya, Hum Chand

We study the optical variability characteristics of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) AGN catalogue by utilising approximately five years of o…

Investigating the Nature and Structure of Inner Regions in Active Galactic Nuclei

Vivek Kumar Jha

The innermost regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are critical for understanding galaxy evolution and the dynamics of matter near a Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH). Yet, due to…

Exploring the AGN Accretion Disks using Continuum Reverberation Mapping

Vivek Kumar Jha, Ravi Joshi, Jayesh Saraswat +3

In the innermost regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), matter is understood to be flowing onto the Supermassive black hole (SMBH), which forms an accretion disk. This disk is re…
