چکیده
CSS J102913+404220 is a peculiar narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy with an energetic nuclear optical outburst. We present detailed analysis of its multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic observations covering period decade since detect mid-infrared (MIR) flares delayed by about two months relative to the outburst, extremely high peak luminosity log(L_4.6um)>44 erg/s. The MIR at least order magnitude higher than any known supernovae explosions, suggesting outburst might be due stellar tidal disruption event (TDE). find late-time X-ray brightening factor >30 respect what observed 100 days after peak, followed flux fading ~4 within weeks, making it one Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) extreme variability. Despite dramatic variability, there are no coincident strong variations in optical, UV bands. This unusual variability behavior has been seen other highly accreting AGNs could attributed absorption In this scenario, decrease absorber accretion rate cause brightening, possibly induced TDE.

Such anomaly explained replenishment gas clouds excitation Broad Line Region (BLR) that originates, perhaps from interaction outflowing debris BLR. results highlight importance evolution TDE affect properties AGN, as suggested recent simulations.

Discovery of a Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy
We have discovered a Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy and identified it with an ultrasoft X-ray source (RX 215319-1514) detected with ROSAT . We present its X-ray and optical spectral characteristics. Its redshift is found to be 0.0778±0.0002. Its optical spectrum shows fairly strong Fe II emission lines, and its X-ray spectrum has an extremely steep power-law index of Γ ≥4, making it an ext...
متن کاملdiscovery of gamma - ray emission from a relativistic jet in the narrow - line Seyfert 1 quasar
We report the discovery by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope of high-energy gamma-ray emission from the peculiar quasar PMN J0948+0022 (z = 0.585± 0.001). Contrary to the expectations, the optical spectrum of this quasar shows only narrow lines [FWHM(Hβ) ∼ 1500 km/s] and the typical characteristics of narrow-line Seyfert 1 type galaxies. However, the str...
متن کاملHow the X-ray spectrum of a Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy may be reflection dominated
A model for the inner regions of accretion flows is presented where, due to disc instabilities, cold and dense material is clumped into deep sheets or rings. Surrounding these density enhancements is hot, tenuous gas where coronal dissipation processes occur. We expect this situation to be most relevant when the accretion rate is close to Eddington and the disc is radiation-pressure dominated, ...
متن کاملUltrasoft Narrow - Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies and X - ray Surveys
We describe how recent X-ray surveys have led to advances in the understanding of ultrasoft narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. The number of known ultrasoft narrow-line Seyfert 1s has increased greatly in recent years due to X-ray surveys, and it is now possible to obtain high quality 0.1–10 keV spectral and variability measurements for a large number of these galaxies. We generalize some of the c...
متن کاملX-ray spectral complexity in narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies
We present a systematic analysis of the X-ray spectral properties of a sample of 22 “narrow-line” Seyfert 1 galaxies for which data are available from the ASCA public archive. Many of these sources, which were selected on the basis of their relatively narrow Hβ line width (FWHM ≤2000 km/s), show significant spectral complexity in the X-ray band. Their measured hard power-law continua have photo...
