Variable super-strong coronal emission lines were observed in one galaxy, SDSS J095209.56+214313.3, and their origin remains controversy. In this paper, we report the detection of variable broad spectral bumps, reminiscent of supernova (SN)…

The galaxy SDSSJ0952+2143 showed remarkable emission-line properties first reported in 2008 (paper I), which are the consequence of a powerful high-energy flare. Here we report follow-up observations of SDSSJ0952+2143, and discuss outburst…

Extreme coronal-line emitter (ECLE) SDSSJ095209.56+214313.3, known by its strong, fading, high ionization lines, has been a long standing candidate for a tidal disruption event, however a supernova origin has not yet been ruled out. Here we…

We report the discovery of superstrong, fading, high-ionization iron line emission in the galaxy SDSSJ095209.56+214313.3 (SDSSJ0952+2143 hereafter), which must have been caused by an X-ray outburst of large amplitude. SDSSJ0952+2143 is…

Mid-resolution spectra are used to deduce the size and kinematics of the coronal gas in a sample of Seyfert galaxies by means of observations of the [FeXI], [FeX], [FeVII], [SiVI] and [SiVII] lines. These coronal lines (CL) extend from the…

We present sub-arcsec near-infrared 1.5 - 2.5 micron moderate resolution long-slit spectra of eight nearby Seyfert galaxies (z<0.01), both parallel to the ionization cone and perpendicular to it. These spectra complement similar data on six…

In contrast to massive galaxies with Solar or super-Solar gas phase metallicities, very few Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are found in low-metallicity dwarf galaxies. Such a population could provide insight into the origins of supermassive…

We study the ionised and highly ionised gas phases in the Seyfert~2 galaxy IC~5063 by means of VLT/MUSE integral field spectroscopy. Our analysis allowed us to detect a high-ionisation gas outflow traced by the coronal lines…

We present new images of the coronal line region, as traced by [Si VII] 2.48 \um, in some of the nearest Seyfert 2 galaxies. In each of these galaxies, the coronal line emission comprises a bright, compact central source and extended…

We present results of follow-up optical spectroscopic observations of seven rare, extreme coronal line emitting galaxies reported by Wang et al. (2012) with Multi-Mirror Telescope (MMT). Large variations in coronal lines are found in four…

The physical conditions near the optical continuum peak (``hot spot'') in the inner narrow line region (NLR) of the Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 1068. Spectra were taken with HST/STIS through the 0.1X52 arcsec slit, covering the full STIS 1200 to…

We report on the identification of a new $\gamma$-ray-emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy, SDSS J122222.55+041315.7, which increases the number of known objects of this remarkable but rare type of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to…

Coronal lines are forbidden emission lines with a ionisation potential $\chi\gtrsim100\,{\rm eV}$. They are linked to energetic phenomena triggered by AGNs in the circumnuclear medium. We present the first high-angular-resolution…

We present the second extensive study of the coronal line variability in an active galaxy. Our data set for the well-studied Seyfert galaxy NGC 5548 consists of five epochs of quasi-simultaneous optical and near-infrared spectroscopy…

We present adaptive optics-assisted J- and K-band integral field spectroscopy of the inner 300 x 300 pc of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC1068. The data were obtained with the Gemini NIFS integral field unit spectrometer, which provided us with…

We report the discovery of a type IIn supernova in the low-metallicity dwarf galaxy J1320+2155, with an oxygen abundance 12+logO/H = 8.0+/-0.2. This finding is based on SDSS (February 2008) and 3.5m Apache Point Observatory (February 2009)…

Tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies is expected to produce unique emission line signatures, which have not yet been explored adequately. Here we report the discovery of extremely strong coronal…

We report spectroscopic observations in the wavelength region 0.8-2.4 microns aimed at detecting near-infrared coronal lines in a sample of 5 narrow-line and 1 broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. Our measurements show that [SiVI] 1.963mu, [SIX]…

We conduct the first systematic survey of a comprehensive set of the twenty optical coronal lines in the spectra of nearly 1 million galaxies observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 8 catalog. This includes often…

Weak emission line quasars are a rare and puzzling group of objects. In this paper we present one more object of this class found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The quasar SDSS J094533.99+100950.1, lying at z = 1.66, has…
