Photometry and spectroscopy of ASASSN-17jz
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present observations of the extremely luminous but ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) ASASSN-17jz, spanning roughly 1200 days of the object's evolution.
Description
ASASSN-17jz was discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) in the galaxy SDSSJ171955.84+414049.4 on UT 2017 July 27 at a redshift of z=0.1641. The transient peaked at an absolute B-band magnitude of M_B,peak_=-22.81, corresponding to a bolometric luminosity of L_bol,peak_=8.3x10^44^erg/s, and exhibited late-time ultraviolet emission that was still ongoing in our latest observations.
Integrating the full light curve gives a total emitted energy of E_tot_=(1.36+/-0.08)x10^52^erg, with (0.80+/-0.02)x10^52^erg of this emitted within 200 days of peak light. This late-time ultraviolet emission is accompanied by increasing X-ray emission that becomes softer as it brightens. ASASSN-17jz exhibited a large number of spectral emission lines most commonly seen in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with little evidence of evolution.

It also showed transient Balmer features, which became fainter and broader over time, and are still being detected >1000 days after peak brightness. We consider various physical scenarios for the origin of the transient, including supernovae (SNe), tidal disruption events, AGN outbursts, and ANTs. We find that the most likely explanation is that ASASSN-17jz was a SN IIn occurring in or near the disk of an existing AGN, and that the late-time emission is caused by the AGN transitioning to a more active state.
