Researchers Investigate Changing-Look Active Galactic Nucleus in NGC 3822 Galaxy
A comprehensive 17-year study of the changing-look active galactic nucleus in NGC 3822 reveals significant flux variations across multiple wavelengths. Researchers found the changing-look behavior is driven by changes in the accretion rate around the supermassive black hole.
Long-term Study Reveals Changing Behavior in Distant Galaxy
Indian astronomers have conducted an extensive multiwavelength investigation of a changing-look active galactic nucleus in the galaxy NGC 3822, according to recent research published on the arXiv pre-print server. The study, led by researchers from the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, analyzed data collected over 17 years to better understand the peculiar behavior of this cosmic phenomenon.
