Scalable and Robust Multiband Modeling of AGN Light Curves in Rubin-LSST
Weixiang Yu, John J. Ruan, Colin J. Burke +22
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will monitor tens of millions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) for a period of 10 years with an average caden…
Examining AGN UV/Optical Variability Beyond the Simple Damped Random Walk. II. Insights from 22 Years Observations of SDSS, PS1 and ZTF
Weixiang Yu, Gordon T. Richards, John J. Ruan +3
A damped random walk (DRW) process is often used to describe the temporal UV/optical continuum variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, recent investigations have show…
Preliminary census of galaxies in the LISA localisation volume: I. Searching for LISA candidate massive black hole binary merger hosts using Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometry
Carolyn L. Drake, Jessie Runnoe, Aaron Stemo +6
With the launch of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), we will be able to estimate the sky position, luminosity distance (d), chirp mass, and mass ratio for detect…
Predicting Potential Host Galaxies of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Based on Stellar Kinematics in Archival IFU Surveys
Patrick Horlaville, John J. Ruan, Michael Eracleous +3
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) at the centers of galaxies emit continuous gravitational waves (GWs) at nanohertz frequencies, and ongoing pulsar timing array (PTA) exper…
Sleeping Giants Arise: Monitoring the Return of Three Changing-Look Quasars to Their High States
Laura Duffy, Michael Eracleous, John J. Ruan +2
Changing-look quasars challenge many models of the quasar central engine. Their extreme variability in both the continuum and broad emission-line fluxes on timescales on the order…
Contaminating Electromagnetic Transients in LISA Gravitational Wave Localization Volumes. I: The Intrinsic Rates
Weixiang Yu, John J. Ruan, Michael Eracleous +8
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will soon detect gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by massive black hole (MBH) mergers. Some theoretical models have predicted transie…
