Overmassive No More: The Case for Little Red Dots Hosting Black Hole Seeds as Massive as Single Supermassive Stars
Wendy Q. Sun, Rohan P. Naidu, Hanpu Liu +17
Little Red Dots (LRDs) display singular properties unlike any known class of AGN or galaxies, motivating novel mass estimators for their central engines. Inspired by their similari…
The Host Galaxy and Rapidly Evolving Broad-line Region in the Changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES 1927+654
Ruancun Li, Luis C. Ho, Claudio Ricci +4
Changing-look active galactic nuclei (AGNs) present an important laboratory to understand the origin and physical properties of the broad-line region (BLR). We investigate follow-u…
The Tidal Disruption Event AT 2018hyz I: Double-peaked emission lines and a flat Balmer decrement
P. Short, M. Nicholl, A. Lawrence +28
We present results from spectroscopic observations of AT 2018hyz, a transient discovered by the ASAS-SN survey at an absolute magnitude of mag, in the nucleus of a…
1ES 1927+654: An AGN Caught Changing Look on a Timescale of Months
Benny Trakhtenbrot, Iair Arcavi, Chelsea L. MacLeod +21
We study the sudden optical and ultraviolet (UV) brightening of 1ES 1927+654, which until now was known as a narrow-line active galactic nucleus (AGN). 1ES 1927+654 was part of the…
Nebular H Limits for Fast Declining Type Ia Supernovae
D. J. Sand, R. C. Amaro, M. Moe +16
One clear observational prediction of the single degenerate progenitor scenario as the origin of type Ia supernovae (SNe) is the presence of relatively narrow (1000 km s$^…
Nebular Spectroscopy of the `Blue Bump' Type Ia Supernova 2017cbv
D. J. Sand, M. L. Graham, J. Botyánszki +17
We present nebular phase optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of the Type Ia supernova (SN) 2017cbv. The early light curves of SN~2017cbv showed a prominent blue bump in the ,…
