Scavenger hunt: Selection of obscured active galactic nuclei combining multiband optical variability and colors

Demetra De Cicco, Stefano Cavuoti, Maurizio Paolillo +3

As wide-field optical surveys such as Vera Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) begin operations, time-domain astronomy is facing a data revolution, paving th…

The ensemble broad-frequency power spectrum of Stripe-82 quasars from multiple surveys

Vincenzo Petrecca, Iossif E. Papadakis, Maurizio Paolillo +5

Variability is a striking features of quasars, observed at all timescales wavelengths. Studying its properties and the correlations with the physical parameters (e.g. black hole ma…

Navigating AGN variability with self-organizing maps

Ylenia Maruccia, Demetra De Cicco, Stefano Cavuoti +6

Context. The classification of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is a challenge in astrophysics. Variability features extracted from light curves offer a promising avenue for distingui…

Selection of optically variable active galactic nuclei via a random forest algorithm

Demetra De Cicco, Gaetano Zazzaro, Stefano Cavuoti +5

Context. A defining characteristic of active galactic nuclei (AGN) that distinguishes them from other astronomical sources is their stochastic variability, which is observable acro…
