Contributed talks on AGN.
This session highlights the emerging AGN ecosystem surrounding Rubin LSST, from multiwavelength follow-up and Deep-Drilling Field science to the discovery of wandering massive black holes, changing-look AGNs, and new cosmological applications of quasar variability. Together, these talks (+ a discussion session on follow-up strategies) showcase how Rubin's vast time-domain dataset will revolutionize our understanding of supermassive black holes across cosmic time.
