AGN STORM 2. VI. Mapping Temperature Fluctuations in the Accretion Disk of Mrk 817
Jack M. M. Neustadt, Christopher S. Kochanek, John Montano +49
We fit the UV/optical lightcurves of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817 to produce maps of the accretion disk temperature fluctuations resolved in time and radius. The maps are…
Monthly quasi-periodic eruptions from repeated stellar disruption by a massive black hole
P. A. Evans, C. J. Nixon, S. Campana +12
In recent years, searches of archival X-ray data have revealed galaxies exhibiting nuclear quasi-periodic eruptions with periods of several hours. These are reminiscent of the tida…
AGN STORM 2. IV. Swift X-ray and ultraviolet/optical monitoring of Mrk 817
Edward M. Cackett, Jonathan Gelbord, Aaron J. Barth +48
The AGN STORM 2 campaign is a large, multiwavelength reverberation mapping project designed to trace out the structure of Mrk 817 from the inner accretion disk to the broad emissio…
AGN STORM 2. III. A NICER view of the variable X-ray obscurer in Mrk 817
Ethan R. Partington, Edward M. Cackett, Erin Kara +44
The AGN STORM 2 collaboration targeted the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817 for a year-long multiwavelength, coordinated reverberation mapping campaign including HST, Swift, XMM-Newton, NI…
UV/Optical disk reverberation lags despite a faint X-ray corona in the AGN Mrk 335
Erin Kara, Aaron J. Barth, Edward M. Cackett +37
We present the first results from a 100-day Swift, NICER and ground-based X-ray/UV/optical reverberation mapping campaign of the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Mrk 335, when it was in an un…
AGN STORM 2: I. First results: A Change in the Weather of Mrk 817
Erin Kara, Missagh Mehdipour, Gerard A. Kriss +69
We present the first results from the ongoing, intensive, multi-wavelength monitoring program of the luminous Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817. While this AGN was, in part, selected for it…
