AbstractModern sky surveys are discovering a range of rare and dramatic variable phenomena associated with the supermassive black holes that sit at the heart of every galaxy. Deciphering these is crucial to advancing our understanding of how these black holes form and grow and how they interact with their host galaxies and beyond. The PI's team will carry out a systematic study of these extreme events combining infrared, optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray data from national observatories. This program will
