Transient Relativistic Iron Emission Line from an X-ray Flaring Supermassive Black Hole

Xiurui Zhao, Marco Ajello, Francesca Civano +16

We report the discovery of the first transient relativistic iron Kα line in an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) J1047+5907. The line was detected 21.5 days (rest-frame) after an X-ray…
