On the Origin of the Strong Optical Variability of Emission-line Galaxies
Ruqiu Lin, Zhen-Ya Zheng, Weida Hu +9
Emission-line galaxies (ELGs) are crucial in understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies, while little is known about their variability. Here we report the study on the o…
Evidence of a tidal disruption event in GSN 069 from the abnormal carbon and nitrogen abundance ratio
Zhenfeng Sheng, Tinggui Wang, Gary Ferland +4
GSN 069 is an ultra-soft X-ray active galactic nucleus that previously exhibited a huge X-ray outburst and a subsequent long-term decay. It has recently presented X-ray quasi-perio…
Mrk 1239: a Type-2 Counterpart of Narrow-line Seyfert-1?
Xiang Pan, Hongyan Zhou, Chenwei Yang +10
We present new spectrophotometric and spectropolarimetric observations of Mrk 1239, one of the 8 prototypes that defines type-1 narrow-line Seyfert galaxies (NLS1s). Unlike the oth…
Mid-InfraRed Outburst in Nearby Galaxies (MIRONG) I: Sample Selection and Characterization
Ning Jiang, Tinggui Wang, Liming Dou +9
The optical time-domain astronomy has grown rapidly in the past decade but the dynamic infrared sky is rarely explored. Aiming to construct a sample of mid-infrared outburst in nea…
A Mid-infrared Flare in the Active Galaxy MCG-02-04-026: Dust Echo of a Nuclear Transient Event
Luming Sun, Ning Jiang, Tinggui Wang +8
We report the discovery of a mid-infrared (MIR) flare using WISE data in the center of the nearby Seyfert 1.9 galaxy MCG-02-04-026. The MIR flare began in the first half of 2014, p…
X-ray spectral shape variations in changing-look Seyfert galaxy SDSSJ155258+273728
Yanli Ai, Liming Dou, Chenwei Yang +7
We analyze the X-ray, optical, and mid-infrared data of a "changing-look" Seyfert galaxy \sdssj15 at . Over a period of one decade (2009 - 2018), its broad H line…
