A Large-scale Search for Photometrically Variable Active Galactic Nuclei in Dwarf Galaxies Using the Young Supernova Experiment

We conduct an analysis of over 60,000 dwarf galaxies ( $7\lesssim {\mathrm{log}}\,{M}_{* }/{M}_{\odot }\lesssim 10$ ) in search of photometric variability indicative of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Using data from the Young Supernova Experiment, a time domain survey on the Pan-STARRS telescopes, w...
