A Multiwavelength Assessment Disfavoring the X-ray Binary Origin of He III Regions in Metal-Poor Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxies

Ivan Altunin, Christopher Ellis, Richard M. Plotkin +9

Recent observations of metal-poor, star-forming dwarf galaxies reveal He III regions, traced by nebular He II 4686 emission that require a strong source of extreme-ultraviolet (EUV…

Systematic Monitoring of Extreme X-ray Variability from Weak-line Quasars

Madison Reich, W. N. Brandt, Bin Luo +4

We present the results of a multi-cycle Chandra program to systematically monitor the X-ray variability of 10 weak-line quasars (WLQs) that previously had limited multi-epoch X-ray…

ReveaLLAGN 1: JWST Emission-Line Spectra Reveal Low-Luminosity AGN with UV-Deficient SEDs and Warm Molecular Gas

Kameron Goold, Anil Seth, Mallory Molina +20

We present near- and mid-infrared spectra of eight Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (LLAGN), spanning nearly four orders of magnitude in black hole mass and Eddington ratio, o…

A multi-wavelength study of the 2025 low state of the intermediate polar BG CMi

A. W. Shaw, K. Mukai, C. O. Heinke +18

We present multi-wavelength observations of the first recorded low state of the intermediate polar BG CMi. Optical monitoring of the source by members of the American Association o…

The Secret Lives of Open Clusters: a Multiwavelength Examination of Three Open Clusters

Kristen C. Dage, Emily L. Hunt, Jasmine Anderson-Baldwin +11

Star clusters are well known for their dynamical interactions, an outcome of their high stellar densities; in this paper we use multiwavelength observations to search for the uniqu…

Ruling Out Compact Jets as the Dominant Source of Radio Emission in Radio-quiet, High Eddington-ratio Active Galactic Nuclei

Jeremiah D. Paul, Richard M. Plotkin

The origin of core radio emission in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is still actively debated. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations often predict the la…
