Active galactic nuclei flicker: an observational estimate of the duration of black hole growth phases of ~1e5 years
Kevin Schawinski, Michael Koss, Simon Berney +1
We present an observational constraint for the typical active galactic nucleus (AGN) phase lifetime. The argument is based on the time lag between an AGN central engine switching o…
