Active Galactic Nuclei Science Collaboration

Data from LSST will allow the construction of a large sample of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). When combined with multiwavelength data, we hope to select 20-50 million AGNs or more. We aim to pursue many topics, including massive AGN variability studies, triggered spectroscopic follow-up, microlensing studies of accretion disks, small-separation binary SMBHs, transient fueling of SMBHs, studies of the high-redshift AGN population, and studies of the environmental dependence of SMBH growth ranging from voids to superclusters.
