Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most interesting objects in the universe and are tools to probe both cosmology and general relativity. They are powered by the accretion of matter onto supermassive black holes and thus emit stochastic signals across the electromagnetic spectrum. With the first light of wide-field surveys such as LSST, variability will naturally be a focus of AGN...
Quasars optical variability gives us clues to understand the accretion disc around supermassive black holes, which are responsible for the emission in this band and also for at least part of its variability. We can expect variability properties to correlate with the main physical properties of the accreting black hole, i.e. its mass and accretion rate. Specifically, we aim at establishing the...
