AT 2021loi: A Bowen Fluorescence Flare with a Rebrightening Episode Occurring in a Previously Known AGN

The optical-ultraviolet transient AT 2021loi is located at the center of its host galaxy. Its spectral features identify it as a member of the Bowen fluorescence flare (BFF) class. The first member of this class was considered to be related to a tidal disruption event, but enhanced accretion onto an...
