A Changing-Look Seyfert Discovered by eROSITA Reveals a Two-Component Broad-Line Region
Alex Markowitz, Mirko Krumpe, David Homan +12
Extreme sudden changes in the flow of accreting gas onto SMBHs manifest themselves via large-amplitude continuum variability and changes to broad Balmer emission profiles, driving…
Extreme line profile variations in the repeating changing-look active galactic nucleus IRAS23226-3843
Wolfram Kollatschny, Dirk Grupe, Hartmut Winkler +7
IRAS23226-3843 has been identified as a highly variable Seyfert galaxy and even as a changing-look active galactic nucleus based on optical spectra. Here we present follow-up obser…
Counterpart identification and classification for eRASS1 and characterisation of the AGN content
M. Salvato, J. Wolf, T. Dwelly +44
[abridged] Accurately accounting for the AGN phase in galaxy evolution requires a large, clean AGN sample. This is now possible with SRG/eROSITA. The public Data Release 1 (DR1, Ja…
Multiwavelength study of extreme variability in LEDA 1154204: A changing-look event in a type 1.9 Seyfert
T. Saha, A. Markowitz, D. Homan +16
Context. Multiwavelength studies of transients in actively accreting supermassive black holes have revealed that large-amplitude variability is frequently linked to significant cha…
Searching for supermassive black holes binaries within SRG/eROSITA-De I: Properties of the X-ray selected candidates
D. TubÃn-Arenas, M. Krumpe, D. Homan +20
Abridged: Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) separated by (sub)-pc scales represent one of the latest stages of hierarchical galaxy assembly. However, many of these objects…
