AGN with extreme X-ray amplitude variations
We present active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that have shown extreme amplitude variability in X-rays. These AGN appear as bright for long periods, but then suddenly become extremely X-ray weak sources. Most likely this behavior is due to strong absorption along the line of sight or by relativistically b...
