TL;DR: In this article, an optical spectroscopic monitoring program targeting NGC 5548 as part of a larger multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign was presented, which spanned 6 months and achieved an almost daily cadence with observations from five ground-based telescopes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery that the known "changing look" AGN Mrk 1018 has changed spectral type for a second time and used spectral fitting to determine the drop in broad line flux and the Balmer decrement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented ultraviolet (UV) and optical observations of SN 2009ig, starting about 1 day after explosion until around maximum brightness, and provided a precise measurement of 17.13 +/- 0.07 days for the SN rise time.

TL;DR: In this article, the first luminous, spatially resolved binary quasar that clearly inhabits an ongoing galaxy merger was presented, and the triggering of two quasars during a merger had only been hypothesized but their observations provided strong evidence of such an event.
