Six years of UV/X-ray monitoring of ESO 511-G030 reveals a >10x UV rise from the accretion disk, tight disk-corona coupling above ~1% Eddington, and breakdown below, indicating an accretion-state transition.
Low-luminosity AGN exhibit structure function slopes rising from 0.1 to 0.3 with black hole mass, no breaks on decadal scales, amplitude anticorrelated with luminosity and positively correlated with mass.
A criterion of |Δg| > 0.4 mag and |Δ(g-r)| > 0.2 mag detects photometric CL-AGN transitions in 9.6% of known hosts with 1.6% false positive rate from simulations.
CL-AGN host galaxies exhibit a 29% merger fraction (about 2x higher than non-CL-AGN controls) with morphology indicating modest disturbances, based on non-parametric metrics and visual inspection of DESI images.
HE 1237-2252 exhibits a changing-look event driven by intrinsic accretion-rate variations, revealing a two-component broad-line region consisting of virialized gas at ~27 light-days and disk emission at larger radii.
Systematic search of ZTF DR23 data yields catalogs of 28,504 coarse and 1,984 refined AGN flares with public release.
