A Transient "Changing-look'' Active Galactic Nucleus Resolved on Month Timescales from First-year Sloan Digital Sky Survey V Data
Grisha Zeltyn, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael Eracleous +32
We report the discovery of a new ``changing-look'' active galactic nucleus (CLAGN) event, in the quasar SDSS J162829.17+432948.5 at z=0.2603, identified through repeat spectroscopy…
A characteristic optical variability timescale in astrophysical accretion disks
Colin J. Burke, Yue Shen, Omer Blaes +8
Accretion disks around supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei produce continuum radiation at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths. Physical processes in the accretion fl…
Finding Quasars behind the Galactic Plane. I. Candidate Selections with Transfer Learning
Yuming Fu, Xue-Bing Wu, Qian Yang +4
Quasars behind the Galactic plane (GPQs) are important astrometric references and useful probes of Milky Way gas. However, the search for GPQs is difficult due to large extinctions…
Dust Reverberation Mapping in Distant Quasars from Optical and Mid-Infrared Imaging Surveys
Qian Yang, Yue Shen, Xin Liu +47
The size of the dust torus in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and their high-luminosity counterparts, quasars, can be inferred from the time delay between UV/optical accretion disk co…
Optical Variability of the Dwarf AGN NGC 4395 from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
Colin J. Burke, Yue Shen, Yu-Ching Chen +4
We present optical light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) for the archetypical dwarf active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the nearby galaxy NGC 4395 hosting…
Characterization of Optical Light Curves of Extreme Variability Quasars Over a ~16-yr Baseline
Yuanze Luo, Yue Shen, Qian Yang
We study the optical light curves - primarily probing the variable emission from the accretion disk - of ~ 900 extreme variability quasars (EVQs, with maximum flux variations more…
