Candidate Periodically Variable Quasars from the Dark Energy Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu, Wei-Ting Liao +62
Periodically variable quasars have been suggested as close binary supermassive black holes. We present a systematic search for periodic light curves in 625 spectroscopically confir…
The Host Galaxies of Rapidly Evolving Transients in the Dark Energy Survey
P. Wiseman, M. Pursiainen, M. Childress +72
Rapidly evolving transients (RETs), also termed fast blue optical transients (FBOTs), are a distinct class of astrophysical event. They are characterised by lightcurves that declin…
Image simulations for strong and weak gravitational lensing
Andrés A. Plazas
Gravitational lensing has been identified as a powerful tool to address fundamental problems in astrophysics at different scales, ranging from exoplanet identification to dark ener…
Dark Energy Survey Identification of A Low-Mass Active Galactic Nucleus at Redshift 0.823 from Optical Variability
Hengxiao Guo, Colin J. Burke, Xin Liu +56
We report the identification of a low-mass AGN, DES J02180430, in a redshift galaxy in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Supernova field. We select DES J02180430 as an…
The Curious Case of PHL 293B: A Long-Lived Transient in a Metal-Poor Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy
Colin J. Burke, Vivienne F. Baldassare, Xin Liu +51
We report on small-amplitude optical variability and recent dissipation of the unusually persistent broad emission lines in the blue compact dwarf galaxy PHL 293B. The galaxy's unu…
