| Abstract | Some of the least understood patterns in brightness variability are those that come from accreting compact objects, such as active galactic nuclei (AGN) and X-ray binary sources (XRB). The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will provide an unprecedented number of objects in its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). A researcher and her team at Villanova University, has been awarded a Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Faculty Catalyst (AFC) Award to investigate novel ways to identify accretin |
