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…
AT 2025abao: The fourth luminous red nova in M 31
A. Reguitti, A. Pastorello, G. Valerin +15
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT 2025abao, the fourth discovered in M 31. The LRN, associated to the asymptotic giant branch…
Mapping the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H 0323+342
Luigi Foschini, Stefano Ciroi, Marco Berton +3
Taking advantage of the most recent measurements by means of high-resolution radio observations and other multiwavelength campaigns, it is possible to elaborate a detailed map of t…
Revised optical classification of a sample of gamma-ray emitting AGN with GTC and VLT
B. Dalla Barba, L. Foschini, M. Berton +10
We report the results of the optical follow-up of a sample of -ray-emitting active galactic nuclei (AGN). New high-quality optical spectra were obtained using Gran Telescopio C…
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…
A new Bowen Fluorescence Flare and Extreme Coronal Line Emitter discovered by SRG/eROSITA
Pietro Baldini, Arne Rau, Riccardo Arcodia +19
The nuclear transient eRASSt J012026.5-292727 (J012026 hereafter) was discovered in the second SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey (eRASS2). The source appeared more than one order of magni…
