Optical variations in changing-look AGNs selected at X-rays

Recent observations of local AGNs have revealed that many of them show a `changing look' behavior at optical and X-rays wavelengths in the sense of transiting between different AGNs families (e.g. from type-1 to type-2 or vice-versa). In order to pinpoint the possible relation of the changes, we performed optical spectroscopic observations (with CAFOS/CAHA) of 15 changing look AGNs selected at X-rays. Highlights from our spectroscopic study are presented.
