Discovery of a Candidate Binary Supermassive Black Hole in a Periodic Quasar from Circumbinary Accretion Variability
Wei-Ting Liao, Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu +68
Binary supermassive black holes (BSBHs) are expected to be a generic byproduct from hierarchical galaxy formation. The final coalescence of BSBHs is thought to be the loudest gravi…
Dark Energy Survey Identification of A Low-Mass Active Galactic Nucleus at Redshift 0.823 from Optical Variability
Hengxiao Guo, Colin J. Burke, Xin Liu +56
We report the identification of a low-mass AGN, DES J02180430, in a redshift galaxy in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Supernova field. We select DES J02180430 as an…
Two Ultra-Faint Milky Way Stellar Systems Discovered in Early Data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey
S. Mau, W. Cerny, A. B. Pace +56
We report the discovery of two ultra-faint stellar systems found in early data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE). The first system, Centaurus I (DELVE J1238-40…
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…
Extreme variability quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Dark Energy Survey
Nick Rumbaugh, Yue Shen, Eric Morganson +49
We perform a systematic search for long-term extreme variability quasars (EVQs) in the overlapping Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and 3-Year Dark Energy Survey (DES) imaging, whic…
The Time-Domain Spectroscopic Survey: Target Selection for Repeat Spectroscopy
Chelsea L. MacLeod, Paul J. Green, Scott F. Anderson +35
As astronomers increasingly exploit the information available in the time domain, spectroscopic variability in particular opens broad new channels of investigation. Here we describ…
