On the sum of eccentric subgraph numbers of the vertices of a connected graph
Akash De, Kamal Lochan Patra
Let be a connected graph. The eccentric subgraph number of a vertex of is defined as , where is the number of connec…
SLSim: a strong lensing population simulation package
Narayan Khadka, Simon Birrer, Henry Best +45
Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into cosmology by bending light around massive objects. Strong gravitational lensing, in particular, produces magnified and often multi…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Analyzing Line-of-sight selection biases in galaxy-scale strong lensing with external convergence and shear
Xianzhe TZ Tang, Simon Birrer, Anowar J. Shajib +3
The upcoming Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will dramatically increase the number of strong gravitational lensing systems, requiring precise modeling…
Evolution of LISA Observables for Binary Black Holes Lensed by an SMBH
Jake Postiglione, K. E. Saavik Ford, Henry Best +2
Binary black holes (BBH) are expected to form and merge in active galactic nuclei (AGN), deep in the potential well of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), from populations that exist…
Amoeba: An AGN Model of Optical Emissions Beyond steady-state Accretion discs
Henry Best, Matthew O'Dowd, Joshua Fagin +2
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are objects located in the heart of galaxies which emit powerful and complex radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. Understanding AGN has becom…
Joint Modeling of Quasar Variability and Accretion Disk Reprocessing using Latent Stochastic Differential Equations
Joshua Fagin, James Hung-Hsu Chan, Henry Best +5
Quasars are bright active galactic nuclei powered by the accretion of matter around supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies. Their stochastic brightness variability depe…
Reverberation Mapping of Lamp-post and Wind Structures in Accretion Thin Disks
James Hung-Hsu Chan, Joshua Fagin, Henry Best +1
To address the discrepancy where disk sizes exceed those predicted by standard models, we explore two extensions to disk size estimates within the UV/optical wavelength range: disk…
Predicting High-magnification Events in Microlensed Quasars in the Era of LSST using Recurrent Neural Networks
Joshua Fagin, Eric Paic, Favio Neira +6
Upcoming widefield surveys, such as the Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), will monitor thousands of strongly lensed quasars over a 10 yr period. Many of t…
Latent Stochastic Differential Equations for Modeling Quasar Variability and Inferring Black Hole Properties
Joshua Fagin, Ji Won Park, Henry Best +6
Quasars are bright and unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) thought to be powered by the accretion of matter around supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. The temp…
Resolving the Vicinity of Supermassive Black Holes with Gravitational Microlensing
Henry Best, Joshua Fagin, Georgios Vernardos +1
In the near future, wide field surveys will discover 1000's of new strongly lensed quasars, and these will be monitored with unprecedented cadence by the Legacy Survey of Space and…
From Data to Software to Science with the Rubin Observatory LSST
Katelyn Breivik, Andrew J. Connolly, K. E. Saavik Ford +97
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) dataset will dramatically alter our understanding of the Universe, from the origins of the Solar System to the…
