CHASE Spectral Survey I: Measuring Contamination in the Color-selected J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch Distance Indicator
Siyang Li, Alexei V. Filippenko, Arief Ahmad +11
The J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method for distance measurements uses the near uniform luminosity of carbon-rich AGB stars as a standard candle. Its application rests o…
In the Eye of the Storm: The Third Giant X-ray Outburst of the Extreme Changing-look AGN IC 3599
D. Grupe, S. Komossa, W. Zheng +10
We report the discovery and multiwavelength follow-up observations of a giant (factor >100) X-ray outburst of the exceptional changing-look active galactic nucleus (AGN) IC 3599. T…
OQ~208: A New Fe~II Changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus and Implications for the Nature of the Changing-look Phenomenon
J. Wang, W. K. Zheng, D. W. Xu +5
In addition to the traditional hydrogen Balmer emission lines, here we extend the optical changing-look (CL) phenomenon occurring in some active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to the optic…
Are "Changing-Look" Active Galactic Nuclei Special in the Coevolution of Supermassive Black Holes and their Hosts? II. The Case of Changing-Look Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
J. Wang, S. Jin, D. W. Xu +5
The evolutionary role of the so-called ``changing-look'' (CL) active galactic nucleus (AGN), which is characterized by spectral-type transitions within yr, has been sugges…
Departures from Standard Disk Predictions in Intensive Ground-Based Monitoring of Three AGN
Diego Gonzalez-Buitrago, Aaron J. Barth, Rick Edelson +42
We present ground-based, multi-band light curves of the AGN Mrk~509, NGC\,4151, and NGC\,4593 obtained contemporaneously with \sw\, monitoring. We measure cross-correlation lags re…
JWST's PEARLS: A Candidate Massive Binary Star System in a Lensed Galaxy at Redshift 0.94
Hayley Williams, Patrick L. Kelly, Emmanouil Zapartas +18
Massive stars at cosmological distances can be individually detected during transient microlensing events, when gravitational lensing magnifications may exceed ~1000. Nine such sou…
