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…
