Mid-infrared Ensemble Variability of Broad-line and Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies by Zhipeng Hu, Lisheng Mao

“…The MIR variability of the combined sample is positively correlated with black hole mass and the FWHM of the H β emission line at long rest-frame time lags. (4) The long-term MIR variability of the combined sample may be mainly driven by the Eddington ratio. (5) For BLSy1 galaxies, the MIR variability of radio-detected sources is greater than that of radio-undetected sources, whereas for NLSy1 galaxies, the opposite is true.…”
