The Host Galaxy Fluxes of Active Galaxy Nuclei Are Generally Overestimated by the Flux Variation Gradient Method [PDF]

Universe
In terms of the variable nature of normal active galaxy nuclei (AGN) and luminous quasars, a so-called flux variation gradient (FVG) method has been widely utilized to estimate the underlying non-variable host galaxy fluxes.

Photon ring test of the Kerr hypothesis: Variation in the ring shape [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration recently released horizon-scale images of the supermassive black hole M87*. These images are consistently described by an optically thin, lensed accretion flow in the Kerr spacetime. General relativity (GR)

Weighted Anisotropic–Isotropic Total Variation for Poisson Denoising [PDF]

International Conference on Information Photonics, 2023
Poisson noise commonly occurs in images captured by photon-limited imaging systems such as in astronomy and medicine. As the distribution of Poisson noise depends on the pixel intensity value, noise levels vary from pixels to pixels.

Re-detection and a possible time variation of soft X-ray polarization from the Crab [PDF]

Nature Astronomy, 2020
The Crab nebula is so far the only celestial object with a statistically significant detection in soft X-ray polarimetry1–4, a window that has not been explored in astronomy since the 1970s.
