Modelling the UV/optical continuum time-lags in AGN

چکیده
Thermal reverberation in accretion discs of active galactic nuclei is thought to be the reason continuum UV/optical time lags seen these sources. Recently, we studied thermal a standard Novikov-Thorne disc illuminated by an X-ray point-like source, and derived analytic prescription for as function wavelength. In this work, use fit time-lags spectra seven Seyferts, that have been intensively monitored, many wave-bands, last few years. We find can explain observed all Contrary previous claims, magnitude exactly expected case lamp-post geometry, given black hole mass rate estimates objects study. derive rates corona height non-spinning maximally spinning scenarios. also modelling optical/UV used estimate spin, when combined with additional information. model under-predicts UV time-lags, but difference probably due broad auto-correlation

متن کاملLearning Over Long Time Lags
The advantage of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in learning dependencies between time-series data has distinguished RNNs from other deep learning models. Recently, many advances are proposed in this emerging field. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review on memory models in RNNs in the literature. This paper provides a fundamental review on RNNs and long short term memory (LSTM) mode...
متن کاملMinimizing makespan in flowshop with time lags
We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan in a flowshop involving maximal and minimal time lags, denoted by Fm|θ, θ|Cmax. Time lag constraints generalize the classical precedence constraints between operations: minimal (respectively maximal) time lags indeed specify that the time elapsed between two operations must be lower(respectively upper-) bounded. We assume that such constraints ...
متن کاملAdvective Time Lags in Box Models
We consider a box model of the thermohaline circulation with mixed boundary conditions in which advective processes are incorporated via an explicit time delay mechanism. The pipes which connect the subtropical and subpolar boxes have a nite volume and do not interact with the atmosphere or with the rest of the ocean except for channeling uxes between the subtropical and subpolar regions. The c...
