High-resolution GRMHD simulations show that tearing of tilted accretion disks around rapidly spinning supermassive black holes drives order-of-magnitude variability in continuum and broad-line luminosities on months-to-years timescales, explaining changing-look AGN.

Systematic search of ZTF DR23 data yields catalogs of 28,504 coarse and 1,984 refined AGN flares with public release.
Monte Carlo simulations of AGN-disk black hole mergers identify dense, moderately short-lived disks, a steep initial mass function, and mostly prograde orbits as the parameter combination that reproduces the observed (q, χ_eff) anti-correlation.
