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…
Determining Quasar Orientation
Suk Yee Yong, Rachel L. Webster, Anthea L. King +3
Since the discovery of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their subclasses, a unification scheme of AGN has been long sought. Orientation-based unified models predict that some of th…
The Most Powerful Lenses in the Universe: Quasar Microlensing as a Probe of the Lensing Galaxy
David Pooley, Timo Anguita, Saloni Bhatiani +14
Optical and X-ray observations of strongly gravitationally lensed quasars (especially when four separate images of the quasar are produced) determine not only the amount of matter…
Astro2020 Science White Paper - Quasar Microlensing: Revolutionizing our Understanding of Quasar Structure and Dynamics
Leonidas Moustakas, Matthew O'Dowd, Timo Anguita +20
Microlensing by stars within distant galaxies acting as strong gravitational lenses of multiply-imaged quasars, provides a unique and direct measurement of the internal structure o…
AGN (and other) astrophysics with Gravitational Wave Events
K. E. Saavik Ford, Imre Bartos, Barry McKernan +14
The stellar mass binary black hole (sBBH) mergers presently detected by LIGO may originate wholly or in part from binary black hole mergers embedded in disks of gas around supermas…
