VLBA Observations of AGN Activity in NGC 2617
Abstract
NGC 2617 is an active galaxy at z=0.0142 (~60 Mpc, 1 mas = 0.3 pc). A strong outburst was discovered by the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) in NGC 2617 at 2013 UT Apr. 10.27. A follow-up optical spectrum indicated a dramatic spectral type change from a Type 1.8 Seyfert to a Type 1 Seyfert within the last decade (Shappee et al. 2013, ATel #5010). Additional follow-up observations by Swift/BAT (Shappee et al.
