LSST Cadence Strategy Evaluations for AGN Time-series Data in Wide-Fast-Deep Field
Xinyue Sheng, Nicholas Ross, Matt Nicholl
Machine learning is a promising tool to reconstruct time-series phenomena, such as variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN), from sparsely-sampled data. Here we use three Contin…
A Systematic Survey for z < 0.04 Changing-Look AGNs
Madhooshi R. Senarath, Michael J. I. Brown, Michelle E. Cluver +6
We have conducted a systematic survey for z 0.04 active Galactic nuclei (AGNs) that may have changed spectral class over the past decade. We use SkyMapper, Pan-STARRS and the V…
Quasars at intermediate redshift are not special; but they are often satellites
Shadab Alam, Nicholas P. Ross, Sarah Eftekharzadeh +4
Understanding the links between the activity of supermassive black holes (SMBH) at the centres of galaxies and their host dark matter haloes is a key question in modern astrophysic…
Candidate Electromagnetic Counterpart to the Binary Black Hole Merger Gravitational Wave Event S190521g
M. J. Graham, K. E. S. Ford, B. McKernan +24
We report the first plausible optical electromagnetic (EM) counterpart to a (candidate) binary black hole (BBH) merger. Detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), the EM flar…
An outflow powers the optical rise of the nearby, fast-evolving tidal disruption event AT2019qiz
M. Nicholl, T. Wevers, S. R. Oates +42
At 66 Mpc, AT2019qiz is the closest optical tidal disruption event (TDE) to date, with a luminosity intermediate between the bulk of the population and iPTF16fnl. Its proximity all…
The Bolometric Quasar Luminosity Function at z = 0-7
Xuejian Shen, Philip F. Hopkins, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +4
In this paper, we provide updated constraints on the bolometric quasar luminosity function (QLF) from to . The constraints are based on an observational compilation that…
