Variability-Selected Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei in the 4 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South

Description: This article demonstrates that the observed variability cannot be explained by X-ray Binary populations or ultraluminous X-ray sources, so the variability is most likely caused by accretion onto a supermassive black hole.
