Exploring Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V: First Year Results

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Grisha Zeltyn, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael Eracleous, Qian Yang, Paul Green | Summary: "Changing-look" active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) challenge our basic ideas about the physics of accretion flows and circumnuclear gas around supermassive black holes. Using first-year Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) repeated spectroscopy of nearly 29,000 […]
