Physics

Scientific paper

The LSST, with its unprecedented combination of solid angle, photometric and astrometric accuracy, sensitivity, broad wavelength coverage, and time sampling, will provide a new window into the nature of AGNs. Well-defined, large (> 107 objects) samples of AGNs at 0 4 AGNs from brown dwarfs. The AGN dataset will allow investigation of AGN clustering over an unprecedented luminosity and redshift range. Comparison of LSST data with archival X-ray fields will be the first stage of followup for hundreds of thousands of X-ray AGNs, many of which may be heavily obscured. The time baseline, coupled with the large sample size, will produce a data set that can be used to address the physics of the AGN accretion process, including insights into the lifetime of AGNs; the LSST data should also record a number of tidal disruptions of stars by the central black holes of AGNs.
