Recurrent Multi-year Mg II BAL Variability in SDSS J1333+0012
M. Vivek, P. Aromal, R. Srianand +3
We present a long-term spectroscopic study of Broad Absorption Line (BAL) variability in the quasar J1333+0012 (\zem = 0.9197) using an extensive multi-epoch dataset spanning nearl…
Long Term (250 years) Hydrodynamical Simulation of the Supermassive Black Hole Binary OJ287
Ariel Chitan, Sarah C. Gallagher, Shahram Abbassi
With upcoming facilities capable of detecting photometric and gravitational wave signals from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries, studying their long-term accretion-driven var…
Investigating the AGN variability timescale -- black hole mass relationship with Gaia, SDSS and ZTF
Adrien Hélias, Sarah C. Gallagher, Pauline Barmby
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) exhibit variability in their luminosities with timescales that correlate with the mass of the black hole at the centre of the AGN. Presently, the empi…
AGN--Host Galaxy Image Decomposition with JWST
Callum Dewsnap, Pauline Barmby, Sarah C. Gallagher
The ability to disentangle the light of an AGN from its host galaxy is strongly dependent on the spatial resolution and depth of the imaging. As the capabilities of imaging systems…
Characterizing the star cluster populations in Stephan's Quintet using HST and JWST observations
P. Aromal, S. C. Gallagher, K. Fedotov +14
Stephan's Quintet (SQ) is a local compact galaxy group system that exhibits significant star formation activity. A history of tidal interactions between its four member galaxies an…
SQ-A: A Collision Triggered Starburst in Intra-Group Medium of Stephan's Quintet
C. K. Xu, C. Cheng, M. S. Yun +12
We present new observational evidence supporting the hypothesis that SQ-A, a starburst in the intra-group medium (IGrM) of Stephan's Quintet (SQ), is triggered by a high-speed coll…
