The AGN Optical Variability Fundamental Plane
Ashley Tarrant, Jason Hinkle, Benjamin Shappee +10
We investigate the relationship between AGN optical variability timescales, amplitudes, and supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses using homogeneous light curves from the All-Sky Au…
Mid-Infrared Outbursts in Nearby Galaxies: Nuclear Obscuration and Connections to Hidden Tidal Disruption Events and Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei
Sierra A. Dodd, Arya Nukala, Isabelle Connor +5
We study the properties of galaxies hosting mid-infrared outbursts in the context of a catalog of five hundred thousand galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that nuc…
Revealing AGNs Through TESS Variability
Helena P. Treiber, Jason T. Hinkle, Michael M. Fausnaugh +7
We used Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) data to identify 29 candidate active galactic nuclei (AGNs) through their optical variability. The high-cadence, high-precision…
Testing the Momentum-driven Supernova Feedback Paradigm in M31
Sumit K. Sarbadhicary, Davide Martizzi, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +4
Momentum feedback from isolated supernova remnants (SNRs) have been increasingly recognized by modern cosmological simulations as a resolution-independent means to implement the ef…
An Amusing Look at the Host of the Periodic Nuclear Transient ASASSN-14ko Reveals a Second AGN
M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, J. T. Hinkle +10
We present Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) integral-field spectroscopy of ESO 253G003, which hosts a known Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) and the periodic nuclear transi…
The Landscape of Galaxies Harboring Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei in the Local Universe
Sierra A. Dodd, Jamie A. P. Law-Smith, Katie Auchettl +2
We study the properties of the host galaxies of Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei (CL AGNs) with the aim of understanding the conditions responsible for triggering CL activity.…
