Morphology of Optical Changing-Look AGN-host Galaxies: Evidence for an Important Role of Mergers
Jie Tian, Yinghe Zhao, Jin-Ming Bai +1
Optical changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) are characterized by the (dis)appearance of broad emission lines on unexpectedly short timescales. However, the underlying me…
The Most Luminous H Reverberation Mapping of E1821+643 Indicates the Lower Boundary of the Radius-Luminosity Relation
Sha-Sha Li, Hai-Cheng Feng, Jiancheng Wu +5
The radius-luminosity (-) relation is fundamental to active galactic nucleus (AGN) studies, enabling supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass estimates and AGN-ba…
Discovery of a Luminosity-dependent Continuum Lag in NGC 4151 from Photometric and Spectroscopic Continuum Reverberation Mapping
Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li, Mouyuan Sun +17
Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) powers active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and drives feedback that shapes galaxy evolution. Constraining AGN accretion disk structure is…
Time Evolution of Optical Darkness in GRB Afterglow: The Case of GRB 240825A
Rui-Zhi Li, Jirong Mao, Yuan-Pei Yang +4
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to occur in star-forming regions. The multiwavelength follow-up observations of the early afterglow of GRB 240825A provided insig…
Detection of unexpected leading delays in broad Hβ line reverberations in the quasar PHL 1092
Jian-Min Wang, Chen Hu, Yong-Jie Chen +12
Delayed reverberations of broad emission lines in response to optical continuum variations have been widely observed in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). They serve as a powerful tool…
Supermassive Black Hole and Broad-line Region in NGC 5548: 2023 Reverberation Mapping Results
Wen-Zhe Xi, Kai-Xing Lu, Jin-Ming Bai +6
We present the results of the 2023 spectroscopic reverberation mapping (RM) campaign for active galactic nuclei (AGN) of NGC 5548, continuing our long-term monitoring program. Usin…
