In this manuscript, we report a new changing-look QSO (CLQSO) SDSS J2241 at $z=0.059$. Based on the multi-epoch SDSS spectra from 2011 to 2017, the flux ratio of broad H$alpha$ to broad H$beta$ has been changed from 7 in 2011 to 2.7 in 2017, leading SDSS J2241 with spectral index $alpha_lambdasim-5.21pm0.02$ ($lambda< 4000$AA) in 2017 to be so-far the bluest CLQSO. Based on the SDSS spectrum in 2011, the host galaxy contributions with stellar velocity dispersion $sim86{rm km/s}$ can be well determined, leading to the M-sigma relation expected central BH mass $sim3times10^6{rm M_odot}$. However, through properties of the broad H$alpha$, the virial BH mass is $sim10^8{rm M_odot}$, about two magnitudes larger than the mass through the M-sigma relation. The different BH masses through different methods indicate SDSS J2241 is one unique CLQSO. Meanwhile, the long-term photometric light curve shows interesting variability properties, not expected by DRW process commonly applied in AGN but probably connected to a central TDE. Furthermore, based on continuum emission properties in 2017 with no dust obscurations, only considering the moving dust clouds cannot be preferred to explain the CLQSO SDSS J2241, because the expected intrinsic reddening corrected continuum emissions were unreasonably higher than the unobscured continuum emissions in 2017.
We present a systematic search for changing-look quasars based on repeat photometry from SDSS and Pan-STARRS1, along with repeat spectra from SDSS and SDSS-III BOSS. Objects with large, |Delta g|>1 mag photometric variations in their light curves are
If the disappearance of the broad emission lines observed in changing-look quasars originates from the obscuration of the quasar core by dusty clouds moving in the torus, high linear optical polarization would be expected in those objects. We then me
We report on three redshift $z>2$ quasars with dramatic changes in their C IV emission lines, the first sample of changing-look quasars (CLQs) at high redshift. This is also the first time the changing-look behaviour has been seen in a high-ionisatio
Two major challenges to unification schemes for active galactic nuclei (AGN) are the existence of Narrow-Line Seyfert 1s (NLS1s) and the existence of changing-look (CL) AGNs. AGNs can drastically change their spectral appearance in the optical (chang
If the disappearance of the broad emission lines observed in changing-look quasars were caused by the obscuration of the quasar core through moving dust clouds in the torus, high linear polarization typical of type 2 quasars would be expected. We mea
