Simulating X-Ray Reverberation in the Ultraviolet-emitting Regions of Active Galactic Nuclei Accretion Disks with Three-dimensional Multifrequency Radiation Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) light curves observed with different wave bands show that the variability in longer wavelength bands lags the variability in shorter wavelength bands. Measuring these lags, or reverberation mapping, is used to measure the radial temperature profile and extent of AGN disk...
