Galaxies Lighting Up: Discovery of Seventy New Turn-on Changing-look Quasars

Qian Yang, Paul J. Green, Xue-Bing Wu +3

"Changing-look quasars" (CLQs), discovered less than a decade ago, show dramatic, rapid changes in optical/UV continuum and broad line emission. The majority of CLQs have been foun…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Key Results

Yue Shen, Catherine J. Grier, Keith Horne +44

We present the final data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project, a precursor to the SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping program. This…

Probing the Origin of Changing-look Quasar Transitions with Chandra

Qian Yang, Paul J. Green, Chelsea L. MacLeod +9

Extremely variable quasars can also show strong changes in broad-line emission strength and are known as changing-look quasars (CLQs). To study the CLQ transition mechanism, we pre…

The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: Unusual Broad-Line Variability in a Luminous Quasar

Logan B. Fries, Jonathan R. Trump, Megan C. Davis +30

We present a high-cadence multi-epoch analysis of dramatic variability of three broad emission lines (MgII, H, and H) in the spectra of the luminous quasar ((5100Å) = $…

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…

Finding Quasars behind the Galactic Plane. II. Spectroscopic Identifications of 204 Quasars at

Yuming Fu, Xue-Bing Wu, Linhua Jiang +21

Quasars behind the Galactic plane (GPQs) are important astrometric references and valuable probes of Galactic gas, yet the search for GPQs is difficult due to severe extinction and…
