MCMC fits to accretion disk SEDs of 23 high-z blazars give black hole masses of 10^8-10^10 solar masses and Eddington ratios 0.04-1, showing that ignoring IGM attenuation overestimates masses with larger bias at higher redshift.

X-ray spectral modeling and timing analysis of V1674 Her constrain its white dwarf mass to 1.09-1.12 solar masses, well below the near-Chandrasekhar value expected from its t2~1 day decline time.
VAR-PZ uses DRW-modeled variability to create photo-z priors that reduce catastrophic outliers in AGN redshift estimates from 32% to below 7% when combined with SED fitting, validated on SDSS data and LSST simulations.
Multi-mission O-C data on eRO-QPE2 reveal hierarchical super-periods consistent with apsidal precession at a~140 Rg but no robust EMRI solution due to sparse sampling and narrow likelihood peaks.

Black-hole mass estimation through accretion disk spectral fitting for high-redshift blazars

VAR-PZ: Constraining the Photometric Redshifts of Quasars using Variability
VAR-PZ uses DRW-modeled variability to create photo-z priors that reduce catastrophic outliers in AGN redshift estimates from 32% to below 7% when combined with SED fitting, validated on SDSS data and LSST simulations.

Even a precessing clock is right twice per orbit -- The super-periods of eRO-QPE2 and challenges for quasi-periodic eruption orbital models
Multi-mission O-C data on eRO-QPE2 reveal hierarchical super-periods consistent with apsidal precession at a~140 Rg but no robust EMRI solution due to sparse sampling and narrow likelihood peaks.
