Photometric redshifts for active galactic nuclei with LePHARE for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
R. Shirley, M. Salvato, J. Cohen-Tanugi +31
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) play a crucial role in galaxy evolution, but they are a minority of extragalactic sources with diverse Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs), which depe…
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…
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…
Discovery and characterization of 25 new quasars at 4.6 < z < 6.9 from wide-field multi-band surveys
Silvia Belladitta, Eduardo Bañados, Zhang-Liang Xie +18
Luminous quasars at provide key insights into the early Universe. Their rarity necessitates wide-field multi-band surveys to efficiently separate them from the main astrophys…
