AGN Reverberation Mapping with LITMUS: Fundamental Limits on lag Recovery Rates
Hugh McDougall, Tamara M. Davis, Benjamin J. S. Pope +4
Reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei provides one of the most direct probes of the geometry and kinematics of the broad-line region by measuring time delays between cont…
Simulation-based tension quantification of the cosmic dipole
Mali Land-Strykowski, Harry T. J. Bevins, Oliver T. Oayda +1
The cosmic dipole measured in surveys of cosmologically distant sources consistently exceeds the expectation derived from the cosmic microwave background, posing a significant chal…
Microlensing of Microlensing: Effects of Random Stars on the Double-Source-Plane Gravitational Lens
Nada Salama, Daniel J. Ballard, Huimin Qu +2
Microlensing, the influence of stars within a galactic gravitational lens, has emerged as a powerful probe of compact mass and, through differential magnification, sub-parsec scale…
OzDES Reverberation Mapping Program: CIV lags from six years of data
A. Penton, H. McDougall, T. M. Davis +52
The paper reports 29 successful CIV reverberation time‑lag measurements for high‑redshift active galactic nuclei from the OzDES survey, derives black‑hole masses of 0.8–1.3 billion…
OzDES Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei: Final Data Release, Black-Hole Mass Results, & Scaling Relations
H. McDougall, T. M. Davis, Z. Yu +53
Over the last decade, the Australian Dark Energy (OzDES) collaboration has used Reverberation Mapping to measure the masses of high redshift supermassive black holes. Here we prese…
The Ellis and Baldwin test of the Cosmic Dipole: Exploring the impact of multiple flux density cuts
Vasudev Mittal, Geraint F. Lewis
The cosmic dipole tension - the discrepancy between the Cosmic Microwave Background kinematic dipole and the matter dipole inferred from all-sky surveys poses a significant challen…
