A possible close supermassive black-hole binary in a quasar with optical periodicity
Matthew J. Graham,S. G. Djorgovski,Daniel Stern,Eilat Glikman,Andrew J. Drake,Ashish Mahabal,Ciro Donalek,S. M. Larson,Eric Christensen +8 more
TL;DR: The detection of a strong, smooth periodic signal in the optical variability of the quasar PG 1302−102 with a mean observed period of 1,884 ± 88 days is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic search for close supermassive black hole binaries in the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
Matthew J. Graham,S. G. Djorgovski,Daniel Stern,Andrew J. Drake,Ashish Mahabal,Ciro Donalek,Eilat Glikman,S. M. Larson,Eric Christensen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the optical variability of the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey (CRTS) data was used to identify binary supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries.

David Rabinowitz,Tom Gehrels,James V. Scotti,Robert S. McMillan,M. L. Perry,Wieslaw Z. Wisniewski,S. M. Larson,Ellen S. Howell,B. E. A. Mueller +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that there is an excess of Earth-approaching asteroids with diameters less than 50 m, relative to the population inferred from the distribution of larger objects.
