The Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: Stable Optical Continuum Lags of an IMBH in the Dwarf Galaxy NGC 4395 Over Years
Yu Pan, Hengxiao Guo, Chenxu Liu +15
NGC 4395 is a nearby dwarf spiral galaxy hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN) powered by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH, --). Re…
Simultaneous Multi-band Optical Follow-up Observations of a Gamma-Ray Flare in BL Lacertae
X. Chang, D. R. Xiong, Chenxu Liu +17
On October , BL Lacertae () experienced one of its brightest gamma-ray flares. We conducted simultaneous follow-up observations in the , , , , ,…
An observational test of the plasma lensing effect using QSOs with and without MgII absorption
Xinzhong Er, Yiping Shu, Chenxu Liu
Radio wave propagation can be perturbed by compact ionized gas clumps through plasma lensing, which induces frequency dependent magnification and may distort the observed number co…
Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. V. Dramatic Variability in High-Ionization Broad Emission Lines
Zhi-Qiang Chen, Jun-Jie Jin, Wei-Jian Guo +10
We present a systematic search for changing-look (CL) quasars at high redshift z > 0.9 by cross-matching the spectroscopic datasets from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Da…
SN 2024aecx: A double-peaked rapidly evolving Type IIb supernova at 11 Mpc
Xingzhu Zou, Brajesh Kumar, Rishabh Singh Teja +28
We present the results of low-resolution spectroscopic and densely sampled multi-band photometric follow-up of supernova (SN) 2024aecx. The SN was discovered in the spiral galaxy N…
Simultaneous Multiband Photometry of the Early Optical Afterglow of GRB 240825A with Mephisto
Yehao Cheng, Yu Pan, Yuan-Pei Yang +19
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous transients in the universe. The interaction of the relativistic jet with the circumburst medium produces an afterglow and generates mu…
