Testing the Linear Relationship between Black Hole Mass and Variability Timescale in Low-luminosity AGNs at Submillimeter Wavelengths

Testing the Linear Relationship between Black Hole Mass and Variability Timescale in Low-luminosity AGNs at Submillimeter Wavelengths

The variability of submillimeter emission provides a useful tool to probe the accretion physics in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei. We accumulate four years of observations using the Submillimeter Array for Centaurus A, NGC 4374, NGC 4278, and NGC 5077, and one year of observations for NGC 455...
