Reduction of bar fraction in paired galaxies in the SDSS

Linlin Li, Shuai Feng, Shiyin Shen +3

We investigate the bar fraction in galaxy pairs from the SDSS to assess how galaxy interactions affect bar structures. Compared to isolated galaxies, close pairs exhibit a signific…

AGN STORM 2. XI. Spectroscopic reverberation mapping of the hot dust in Mrk 817

Hermine Landt, Benjamin D. Boizelle, Michael S. Brotherton +41

The AGN Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping 2 (STORM 2) campaign targeted Mrk 817 with intensive multi-wavelength monitoring and found its soft X-ray emission to be s…

Predicting Halo Formation Time Using Machine Learning

Atulit Srivastava, Weiguang Cui, Daniel de Andres +3

Context:Halo formation time, which quantifies the mass assembly history of dark-matter halos, directly impacts galaxy properties and evolution. Although not directly observable, it…

AGN STORM 2: VIII. Investigating the Narrow Absorption Lines in Mrk 817 Using HST-COS Observations

Maryam Dehghanian, Nahum Arav, Gerard A. Kriss +39

We observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk817 during an intensive multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign for 16 months. Here, we examine the behavior of narrow UV absorption lin…

AGN STORM 2: IX. Studying the Dynamics of the Ionized Obscurer in Mrk 817 with High-resolution X-ray Spectroscopy

Fatima Zaidouni, Erin Kara, Peter Kosec +45

We present the results of the XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations taken as part of the ongoing, intensive multi-wavelength monitoring program of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817 by the…

AGN STORM 2. VI. Mapping Temperature Fluctuations in the Accretion Disk of Mrk 817

Jack M. M. Neustadt, Christopher S. Kochanek, John Montano +49

We fit the UV/optical lightcurves of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817 to produce maps of the accretion disk temperature fluctuations resolved in time and radius. The maps are…
