Description

More and more transients are found in the nuclear region of galaxies, such as tidal disruption event, changing-look AGNs, ambiguous nuclear transient etc. It is possible to learn the physical evolution of accretion, jet and BLR based on a single SMBH object now even though the physical mechanism triggers these transients may be still unclear. I will introduce: the possible physical mechanism for the changing-look AGNs based on multi-wavelength observations. The evolution of broad lines in changing-look AGNs and tidal disruption events will be also discussed based on theoretical and observational viewpoint.
