Rebrightening of the changing look Seyfert galaxy NGC 1566
Abstract
We report on new Swift observations of the nearby Seyfert 1.5 galaxy NGC 1566 which indicate a rebrightening of the AGN in X-rays and the UV. NGC 1566 was discovered in a hard X-ray outburst in June 2018 by INTEGRAL (Ducci et al., ATel #11754) and Swift follow-up observation showed dramatic increases in its soft X-ray and UV fluxes as well (Ferrigno et al., ATel #11783; Kuin et al., ATel #11786; Grupe et al., ATel #11903).
