Continuum Variability in AGN: Evidence for Systematically Suppressed Fluctuations in the BAL Population
A. Aliaga, P. Arévalo, M. L. Martínez-Aldama +2
We aim to compare the flux variability of Broad Absorption Line quasars (BAL) to non-BAL quasars, controlling for black hole parameters to inform models concerning the generation o…
The X-ray-Weak Tail of the Quasar Population: Physical Properties and Redshift Evolution of Variability-Selected AGN in eFEDS
P. Arévalo, J. Buchner, M. Salvato +10
The paper examines AGN identified through optical variability in the eROSITA eFEDS survey, comparing those detected in X‑rays to those that are not, and finds that a substantial hi…
VAR-PZnn: A machine-learning framework for AGN photometric redshifts using color and variability-based features
S. Satheesh-Sheeba, P. Sánchez-Sáez, R. J. Assef +39
Photometric redshift estimation for active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remains a fundamental challenge for current and upcoming large-scale photometric surveys. Traditional spectral ene…
Spatially resolved optical and mid-infrared spectroscopy of SDSS1335+0728: implications for the origin of the Ansky event
P. Sánchez-Sáez, M. Masterson, L. Hernández-GarcÃa +25
The galaxy SDSS1335+0728 brightened abruptly in December 2019 (the Ansky event) and has since been confirmed as the host of extreme X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) of debated…
Discovery of extreme Quasi-Periodic Eruptions in a newly accreting massive black hole
Lorena Hernández-GarcÃa, Joheen Chakraborty, Paula Sánchez-Sáez +27
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are rapid, recurring X-ray bursts from supermassive black holes, believed to result from interactions between accretion disks and surrounding matter…
Probing the rest-frame wavelength dependence of quasar variability : Insights from the Zwicky Transient Facility Survey
P. Patel, P. Lira, P. Arévalo +3
Context: Quasar variability can potentially unlock crucial insights into the accretion process. Understanding how this variability is influenced by wavelength is crucial for valida…
