Optical observations of candidate host galaxies of eight fast X-ray transients
Agnes P. C. van Hoof, Peter G. Jonker, Lieke Tommel +15
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are extragalactic flashes of X-rays with a typical duration of minutes to hours for which a variety of origins has been proposed and observed. To decip…
An X-ray and optical spectral study of the changing-look narrow-line Seyfert 1 2MASX J0413-0050
A. Vietri, A. Tortosa, D. IliÄ +12
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) showing dramatic spectral and flux variations, either due to changes in the accretion rate (changing-state, CS-AGN) of the supermassive black hole or i…
The X-ray weakness of Little Red Dots and JWST-selected AGN: comparison with local AGN in different accretion regimes
A. Tortosa, C. Ricci, P. Du +5
We investigate the origin of the observed X-ray weakness in high z LRDs and other JWST-selected broad line AGN by comparing their X-ray and optical properties with those of a diver…
NOCTURNE. III. Unidentified variable emission in the nuclear regions of PKS 2153-69
Miguel Coloma Puga, Marco Berton, Pierpaolo Condò +4
Historically, the study of the central regions of Type 1 AGN has been limited by the combination of the host galaxy spectrum with strong emission from the accretion disk and NLR/BL…
SN 2016iog: A fast declining Type II-L supernova with an ultra-faint tail, persistently interacting with circumstellar material
Z. -H. Peng, S. Benetti, Y. -Z. Cai +26
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the rapidly declining Type IIL supernova (SN) 2016iog. SN 2016iog reached its peak 14 days after explosion,…
