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…

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…
