VAR-PZnn: A machine-learning framework for AGN photometric redshifts using color and variability-based features

S. Satheesh-Sheeba, P. Sánchez-Sáez, R. J. Assef +39

Photometric redshift estimation for active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remains a fundamental challenge for current and upcoming large-scale photometric surveys. Traditional spectral ene…

The ensemble broad-frequency power spectrum of Stripe-82 quasars from multiple surveys

Vincenzo Petrecca, Iossif E. Papadakis, Maurizio Paolillo +5

Variability is a striking features of quasars, observed at all timescales wavelengths. Studying its properties and the correlations with the physical parameters (e.g. black hole ma…

VAR-PZ: Constraining the Photometric Redshifts of Quasars using Variability

S. Satheesh-Sheeba, R. J. Assef, T. Anguita +33

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST is expected to discover tens of millions of new Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). The survey's exceptional cadence and sensitivity will enable UV/op…

Time Evolution of Mg II in SDSS J2320+0024: Implications for a Subparsec Binary Supermassive Black Hole System

Marta Fatović, Dragana Ilić, Andjelka B. Kovačević +8

Here we present results from our spectroscopic follow-up of SDSS J2320+0024, a candidate binary supermassive black hole (SMBH) with a suspected sub-pc separation, identified by a 2…

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…

Gaia Focused Product Release: Sources from Service Interface Function image analysis -- Half a million new sources in omega Centauri

Gaia Collaboration, K. Weingrill, A. Mints +400

Gaia's readout window strategy is challenged by very dense fields in the sky. Therefore, in addition to standard Gaia observations, full Sky Mapper (SM) images were recorded for ni…

Gaia Focused Product Release: A catalogue of sources around quasars to search for strongly lensed quasars

Gaia Collaboration, A. Krone-Martins, C. Ducourant +398

Context. Strongly lensed quasars are fundamental sources for cosmology. The Gaia space mission covers the entire sky with the unprecedented resolution of " in the optical, ma…

Gaia Focused Product Release: Radial velocity time series of long-period variables

Gaia Collaboration, M. Trabucchi, N. Mowlavi +403

The third Gaia Data Release (DR3) provided photometric time series of more than 2 million long-period variable (LPV) candidates. Anticipating the publication of full radial-velocit…

Detecting long-period variability in SDSS Stripe 82 standards catalog

Marta Fatović, Lovro Palaversa, Krešimir Tisanić +5

We report the results of a search for long-period ( days) periodic variability in SDSS Stripe 82 standards catalog. The SDSS coverage of Stripe 82 enables such a search…
