The repeating changing-look active galactic nuclei (RCL AGNs) exhibit multiple appearances and disappearances of broad emission lines (BELs), whose underlying mechanism remains a puzzle. Expanding the sample of RCL AGNs is valuable for constraining the transition timescale and probing the accretion physics driving CL behaviors. This study aims to identify RCL AGNs using the multi-epoch spectroscopic data of confirmed CL AGNs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope, and Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, supplemented with mid-infrared (MIR) light curves. Through selection criteria and visual inspection, we identify 22 RCL AGNs among 299 CL AGNs, corresponding to an occurrence rate of about 7\%, indicating that repeated transitions are not extremely rare in CL AGNs. Among the 22 RCL AGNs, 16 are newly identified, which significantly expands the known RCL AGN sample. Based on the spectra and densely sampled MIR light curves, we derive MIR variability timescales for 18 RCL AGNs, and find no significant correlation between the timescale and the black hole mass.

A systematic search for changing-look quasars in SDSS-II using difference spectra
“变像类星体”(CLQ)是活动星系核(AGN),表现出极端的变化,导致从1型转变为2型。这些转变的短时间尺度提出了一个挑战的活动星系核的统一模型和物理过程导致这些转变仍然知之甚少。CLQ的中心辐射几乎完全消失,因此也为AGN宿主星系的研究提供了有趣的样本。以前对CLQ的搜索利用光度变化或SDSS分类变化来系统地识别CLQ,这种方法可能会错过较低光度的CLQ。在本文中,我们的目标是使用光谱数据来评估,如果分析差光谱可以用来检测进一步改变外观的类星体错过了光度搜索。我们搜索SDSS-Ⅱ DR 7重复光谱的来源,表现出要么消失或出现的宽线发射和吸积盘连续发射直接分析两个观测时期之间的差异谱。从24,782个具有不同光谱的天体样本中,我们的搜索在红移范围$0.1 \leq z \leq 0.3$内产生了6个CLQ,包括4个新发现的来源。光谱分析表明,吸积速率的变化可以解释变化的外观行为。虽然尘埃消光的变化符合光谱形状的变化,但观察到的变化的时间尺度太短,无法被环形云遮蔽。利用差谱是一种有效而灵敏的检测CLQ的方法。我们恢复CLQs的光度比光度搜索发现的低一个数量级,并实现更高的完整性比光谱搜索依赖于管道分类。
