cds-question@unistra.fractive-galactic-nucleiaccretionAccretion disks around supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei produce continuum radiation at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths. Physical processes in the accretion flow lead to stochastic variability of this emission on a wide range of time scales. We measured the optical continuum variability observed in 67 active galactic nuclei and the characteristic time scale at which the variability power spectrum flattens. We found a correlation between this time scale and the black hole mass extending over the entire mass range of supermassive black holes. This time scale is consistent with the expected thermal time scale at the ultraviolet-emitting radius in standard accretion disk theory. Accreting white dwarfs lie close to this correlation, suggesting a common process for all accretion disks.2021Sci...373..789Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/other/Sci/373.789CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/other/Sci/373.789https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/other/Sci/373.789http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/other/Sci/373.789https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/other/Sci/373.789https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/other/Sci/373.789http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/other/Sci/373.789GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/other/Sci/373.789/tables1 (Summary data for the final AGN sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/other/Sci/373.789/tables1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/other/Sci/373.789/tables1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/other/Sci/373.789/tables1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true186.453633.54690.0055555555555555565/4437 8274 8278 6/1405 4226 4348 4439 4441 4488 4506 4803 5091 5233 5244 5262 5274 5437 5481 5576 5731 5776 5848 5977 5989 6028 6087 6165 6218 6223 6260 6481 6534 6977 7061 7208-7209 7246 7361 7390 7523 7642 7921 7969 7998 8017 8029 8071 8261-8262 8526 8528 8636 8641 8881 8906 8922 8941 9181 9750 10039 10162 10217 10393 10454 10472 10578 10691 10694 10709 10761 10912 10927 11069 11191 11354 11388 11490 11668 11829 11898 11924 12380 14858 14960 15147 16891 17690 17741 17745-17747 17752-17753 17756-17757 19283 19315 19416 19567 19746 19883 19932 21824 23323 24120 25054 25585 25735 25965 25974 26148 26181 26292 26300 26509 27068 27227 27349 27717 27848 27862 28023 28060 28148 28208 28377 28471 28517 28535 28614 29795 31459 31676 33053 33055 33063 33092 33103 33107-33108 33116 33121-33122 33124 33126 36775 38268 43806 49042https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/other/Sci/373.789?format=asciidefaultJ/other/Sci/373.789/tables1Summary data for the final AGN sampleSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharnullablerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
