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…
Discovery of ATLAS17jrp as an Optical, X-ray and Infrared Bright TDE in a Star-forming Galaxy
Yibo Wang, Ning Jiang, Tinggui Wang +6
We hereby report the discovery of ATLAS17jrp as an extraordinary TDE in star-forming galaxy SDSSJ162034.99+240726.5 in our recent sample of mid-infrared outbursts in nearby galaxie…
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…
Infrared Echoes of Optical Tidal Disruption Events: ~1% Dust Covering Factor or Less at sub-parsec Scale
Ning Jiang, Tinggui Wang, Xueyang Hu +3
The past decade has experienced an explosive increase of optically-discovered tidal disruption events (TDEs) with the advent of modern time-domain surveys. However, we still lack a…
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…
