SKA Science Data Challenge 2: analysis and results

P. Hartley, A. Bonaldi, R. Braun +105

The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will explore the radio sky to new depths in order to conduct transformational science. SKAO data products made available to astronomer…

The Changing-Look Quasar Mrk 590 is Awakening

S. Mathur, K. D. Denney, A. Gupta +9

Mrk 590 was originally classified as a Seyfert 1 galaxy, but then it underwent dramatic changes: the nuclear luminosity dropped by over two orders of magnitude and the broad emissi…

The broad band SEDs of four 'hypervariable' AGN

James S. Collinson, Martin J. Ward, Andy Lawrence +6

We present an optical to X-ray spectral analysis of four 'hypervariable' AGN (HVAs) discovered by comparing Pan-STARRS data to that from SDSS over a 10 year baseline (Lawrence et a…

Reaching the Peak of the quasar spectral energy distribution - II. Exploring the accretion disc, dusty torus and host galaxy

James S. Collinson, Martin J. Ward, Hermine Landt +3

We continue our study of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 11 AGN at 1.5 < z < 2.2, with optical-NIR spectra, X-ray data and mid-IR photometry. In a previous paper we pre…

Spectral analysis of four 'hypervariable' AGN: a microneedle in the haystack?

A. Bruce, A. Lawrence, C. MacLeod +13

We analyze four extreme active galactic nuclei (AGN) transients to explore the possibility that they are caused by rare, high-amplitude microlensing events. These previously unknow…

Physical properties and the variability mechanism of the He I outflow in NGC 4151

Conor Wildy, Hermine Landt, Michael R. Goad +2

We report on variable helium absorption lines in NGC 4151 observed across six epochs of quasi-simultaneous near-infrared and optical data. These observations cover the transitions…

Reaching the Peak of the Quasar Spectral Energy Distribution I: Observations and Models

James S. Collinson, Martin J. Ward, Chris Done +3

We perform a spectral analysis of a sample of 11 medium redshift (1.5 < z < 2.2) quasars. Our sample all have optical spectra from the SDSS, infrared spectra from GNIRS and TSPEC,…
