Are “Changing-look” Active Galactic Nuclei Special in the Coevolution of Supermassive Black Holes and Their Hosts? I.

The nature of the so-called “changing-look” (CL) active galactic nucleus (AGN), which is characterized by spectral-type transitions within ∼10 yr, remains an open question. As the first in our series of studies, we attempt here to understand the CL phenomenon from the view of the coevolution of AGNs...
