Mid-infrared Variability in Nearby Galaxies from the MaNGA Sample

We use mid-infrared variability in galaxies to search for active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local universe. We use a sample of 10,220 galaxies from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. For each galaxy, we examine its mid-infrared var...
