AGN STORM 2. XII. Ground-Based Optical Photometry and Lag Measurements of Mrk 817
John W. Montano, Aaron J. Barth, Keith Horne +40
We present the ground-based imaging campaign and light curves of Markarian 817 as part of the multiwavelength monitoring program AGN STORM\,2. Observations were carried out over 1.…
Continuum Reverberation in Bright Quasars Using NASA/ATLAS
Zachary Steyn, Christian Wolf, Christopher Onken +5
Variable continuum emission from AGN can be used to probe the structure of their accretion disks via reverberation mapping. Assuming a variable, hot inner light source irradiates t…
Scalable and Robust Multiband Modeling of AGN Light Curves in Rubin-LSST
Weixiang Yu, John J. Ruan, Colin J. Burke +22
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will monitor tens of millions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) for a period of 10 years with an average caden…
SETI Post-Detection Futures: Directions for Technosignature Research and Readiness
Kate Genevieve, Andjelka B. Kovacevic, John Elliott +12
This white paper highlights the work that is needed to anticipate the challenges and societal impacts of a possible technosignature detection. We recommend practical steps to stren…
