Robust active galactic nucleus and host-galaxy decomposition in optical spectral fitting

Unraveling the growth of supermassive black holes and their connection to host galaxies requires disentangling the active galactic nuclei (AGN) emission from that of the stellar populations in which they are embedded. When an AGN spectrum is observed at different activity phases, if the spectral dec...
