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…
Still alive and kicking: A significant outburst in changing-look AGN Mrk 1018
R. Brogan, M. Krumpe, D. Homan +13
Changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGN) have been observed to change optical spectral type. Mrk 1018 is unique: first classified as a type 1.9 Seyfert galaxy, it transitioned…
Improving the selection of changing-look AGNs through multi-wavelength photometric variability
E. López-Navas, P. Sánchez-Sáez, P. Arévalo +13
We present second epoch optical spectra for 30 changing-look (CL) candidates found by searching for Type-1 optical variability in a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) spectros…
Discovery of the luminous X-ray ignition eRASSt J234402.9352640; I. Tidal disruption event or a rapid increase in accretion in an active galactic nucleus?
D. Homan, M. Krumpe, A. Markowitz +17
In November 2020, a new, bright object, eRASSt J234402.9352640, was discovered in the second all-sky survey of SRG/eROSITA. The object brightened by a factor of at least 150 in…
The rebrightening of a ROSAT-selected tidal disruption event: repeated weak partial disruption flares from a quiescent galaxy?
A. Malyali, Z. Liu, A. Rau +11
The ROSAT-selected tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate RX J133157.6-324319.7 (J1331), was detected in 1993 as a bright (0.2-2 keV flux of erg s$^…
eRASSt J074426.3+291606: prompt accretion disc formation in a 'faint and slow' tidal disruption event
A. Malyali, Z. Liu, A. Merloni +10
We report on multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate eRASSt J074426.3+291606 (J0744), located in the nucleus of a previously quiescent galaxy at…
