Active Galaxy Science in the LSST Deep-Drilling Fields: Footprints, Cadence Requirements, and Total-Depth Requirements
W. N. Brandt, Q. Ni, G. Yang +25
This white paper specifies the footprints, cadence requirements, and total-depth requirements needed to allow the most-successful AGN studies in the four currently selected LSST De…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Systematic Investigations of Short-Timescale CIV Broad Absorption Line Variability
Z. S. Hemler, C. J. Grier, W. N. Brandt +10
We systematically investigate short-timescale (10-day rest-frame) CIV broad absorption-line (BAL) variability to constrain quasar-wind properties and provide insights into BAL-v…
X-ray and multi-epoch optical/UV investigations of BAL to non-BAL quasar transformations
Sameer, W. N. Brandt, S. Anderson +10
We report on an X-ray and optical/UV study of eight Broad Absorption Line (BAL) to non-BAL transforming quasars at 1.7-2.2 over 0.29-4.95 rest-frame years with at lea…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Sample Characterization
Yue Shen, Patrick B. Hall, Keith Horne +24
We present a detailed characterization of the 849 broad-line quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project. Our quasar sample covers a redshift…
Velocity-resolved reverberation mapping of five bright Seyfert 1 galaxies
G. De Rosa, M. M. Fausnaugh, C. J. Grier +99
We present the first results from a reverberation-mapping campaign undertaken during the first half of 2012, with additional data on one AGN (NGC 3227) from a 2014 campaign. Our ma…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Accretion-Disk Sizes from Continuum Lags
Y. Homayouni, Jonathan R. Trump, C. J. Grier +12
We present accretion-disk structure measurements from continuum lags in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project. Lags are measured using the \texttt{JA…
C IV BAL disappearance in a large SDSS QSO sample
D. De Cicco, W. N. Brandt, C. J. Grier +4
Broad absorption lines (BALs) in the spectra of quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) originate from outflowing winds along our line of sight; winds are thought to originate from the inner…
Continuum Reverberation Mapping of the Accretion Disks in Two Seyfert 1 Galaxies
M. M. Fausnaugh, D. A. Starkey, Keith Horne +69
We present optical continuum lags for two Seyfert 1 galaxies, MCG+08-11-011 and NGC 2617, using monitoring data from a reverberation mapping campaign carried out in 2014. Our light…
