Asymmetric torus variability in active galactic nuclei driven by global brightening and dimming

Suyeon Son, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho

Temporal asymmetry in the flux variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) offers key insights into the physical mechanisms driving AGN variability. In this study, we investigated…

Continuum variability in multi-epoch quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Minjin Kim, Suyeon Son, Luis C. Ho

We examine the continuum variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by analyzing the multi-epoch spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. To achieve this, we utilize…

Probing the Physical Origin of the Balmer Decrement in the Broad-line Region of Nearby Active Galactic Nuclei via Spectral Variability

Suyeon Son, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho +1

To investigate the physical origin of the Balmer decrement in the broad-line region of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we measure the temporal variability of the fluxes of the broad…

Resolved Stellar Mass Estimation of Nearby Late-type Galaxies for the SPHEREx Era: Dependence on Stellar Population Synthesis Models

Jeong Hwan Lee, Minjin Kim, Taehyun Kim +7

The upcoming all-sky infrared spectrophotometric SPHEREx mission is set to provide spatially resolved stellar mass maps of nearby galaxies, offering more detailed insights than int…

Accuracy of Stellar Mass-to-light Ratios of Nearby Galaxies in the Near-Infrared

Taehyun Kim, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho +12

Future satellite missions are expected to perform all-sky surveys, thus providing the entire sky near-infrared spectral data and consequently opening a new window to investigate th…
