15-Year X-ray Study Links Variable Mass Accretion to Changing Look Behavior in AGN NGC 7582

Santanu Mondal, V. Jithesh, Neeraj Kumari +1

Changing Look Active Galactic Nuclei (CLAGN) are a subclass of AGN that exhibit spectral state transitions in both optical/UV and X-ray bands on timescales of days to years. In thi…

Temporal Variation of the Coronal Radius Parameter in a Jetted Tidal Disruption Event: Swift J1644+57

Arka Chatterjee, Kimitake Hayasaki, Prantik Nandi +5

Tidal Disruption Events are exotic astrophysical phenomena where matter from a star or the interstellar medium is captured by a supermassive black hole. The process liberates enorm…

Discovery of a Luminosity-dependent Continuum Lag in NGC 4151 from Photometric and Spectroscopic Continuum Reverberation Mapping

Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li, Mouyuan Sun +17

Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) powers active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and drives feedback that shapes galaxy evolution. Constraining AGN accretion disk structure is…

Discovery of Changing-Look behavior in AGN NGC 3822: A long-term multiwavelength study

Narendranath Layek, Prantik Nandi, Sachindra Naik +7

We present a comprehensive long-term multi-wavelength study of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) NGC 3822, based on 17 years (2008 to 2025) of X-ray, ultraviolet (UV), and optical…

Optical spectroscopy of 1A 0535+262 before, during, and after the 2020 giant X-ray outburst

Sachindra Naik, Birendra Chhotaray, Neeraj Kumari

We present the findings from our study of the Be/X-ray binary 1A 0535+262/HD 245770 during the giant X-ray outburst in October 2020. We utilized the 1.2-m telescope at Mount Abu In…
