The bolometric luminosity of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is difficult to determine and various approximations have been used to calibrate it against different observed properties. Here I combine theoretical calculations of optically thick,…
Kepler produces a large amount of data used for asteroseismological analyses, particularly of solar-like stars and red giants. The mode amplitudes observed in the Kepler spectral band have to be converted into bolometric amplitudes to be…
We present an analysis of the effects of luminosity on the shape of the mid-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 234 radio-quiet quasars originally presented by Richards et al. In quasars without evident dust extinction, the…
We provide three statistical model prescriptions for the bolometric corrections appropriate for B-type stars as a function of: 1) T_eff, 2) T_eff, log g, and 3) T_eff, log g, [M/H]. These statistical models have been calculated for 27…
Understanding how active galactic nuclei (AGN) affect their host galaxies requires determining their total radiative power across all wavelengths (i.e., bolometric luminosities). We show how AGN accretion disk spectral energy distribution…
The rest-frame UV/optical variability of the quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 is used to test the Corona-Heated Accretion-disk Reprocessing (CHAR) model of Sun et al. 2020. We adopt our CHAR model and the observed…
A 7.5 years spectrophotometric monitoring program of 28 Palomar-Green quasars to determine the size of their broad emission line region (BLR) is reviewed. We find both the continuum and the emission line fluxes of all quasars to vary during…
The ensemble variability properties of nearly 23,000 quasars are studied using the Palomar-QUEST Survey. The survey has covered 15,000 square degrees multiple times over 3.5 years using 7 optical filters, and has been calibrated…
A method of obtaining bolometric corrections ($BC_{\rm V}$) from observed high-resolution, high-$S/N$ spectra is described. The method is applied to spectra of 128 stars collected from the literature with well-determined effective…
Using data of three well-observed type-II plateau supernovae (SNe II-P), SNe 1987A, 1999em and 2003hn; and two atmosphere models by Eastman et al. (1996) and Dessart & Hillier (2005b) we derive calibrations for bolometric corrections and…
We have investigated the relevant trend of the bolometric correction (BC) at the cool-temperature regime of red giant stars and its possible dependence on stellar metallicity. Our analysis relies on a wide sample of optical-infrared…
Hyper-luminous Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs) represent the ideal laboratory to investigate Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback mechanism since their formidable energy release causes powerful winds at all scales and thus the maximum…
We quantitatively assess, by means of comprehensive numerical simulations, the ability of broad-band photometric surveys to recover the broad emission line region (BLR) size in quasars under various observing conditions and for a wide range…
Motivated by recent progress in the statistical modeling of quasar variability, we develop a new approach to measuring emission-line reverberation lags to estimate the size of broad-line regions (BLRs) in active galactic nuclei. Assuming…
This paper presents a method to determine effective temperatures, angular semi-diameters and bolometric corrections for population I and II FGK type stars based on V and 2MASS IR photometry. Accurate calibration is accomplished by using a…
We present an estimate of the optical luminosity function (OLF) of LOFAR radio-selected quasars (RSQs) at $1.4<z<5.0$ in the $9.3\:\textrm{deg}^{2}$ NOAO Deep Wide-field survey (NDWFS) of the Bo\"otes field. The selection was based on…
High redshift quasars can be used to deduce the distribution of dark energy in the Universe, as a complementary tool to SN Ia. The method is based on determination of the size of the Broad Line Region from the emission line delay,…
Standard luminosity ($L$) of 406 main-sequence stars with the most accurate astrophysical parameters are predicted from their absolute magnitudes and bolometric corrections at Johnson $B,V$, and Gaia EDR3 $G$, $G_{BP}$, $G_{RP}$ filters.…
Methods of obtaining stellar luminosities (L) have been revised and a new concept, standard stellar luminosity, has been defined. Among the three methods (direct method from radii and effective temperatures, method using a mass-luminosity…
The accretion luminosity of an FU Ori disk is a fundamental system parameter, but a challenging one to estimate for all but the most well-studied systems. FU Ori objects are dynamically evolving accretion disks, especially close in time to…
