摘要：

After changing optical AGN type from 1.9 to 1 in 1984, the AGN Mrk 1018 recently reverted back to its type 1.9 state. Our ongoing monitoring now reveals that the AGN has hatted its dramatic dimming, reaching a minimum around October 2016. The minimum was followed by an outburst rising with similar to 0.25 U-band mag/month. The rebrightening fasted at feast until February 2017, as confirmed by joint Chandra and Hubble observations. Monitoring was resumed in July 2017 after the source emerged from sunblock, at which point the AGN was found only similar to 0.4 mag brighter than its minimum. The intermittent outburst was accompanied by the appearance of a red wing asymmetry in broad-fine shape, indicative of an inhomogeneous broad-fine region. The current flickering brightness of Mrk 1018 following its rapid fading either suggests that the source has reignited, remains variabie at a tow level, or may continue dimming over the next few years. Distinguishing between these possibilities requires continuous multiwavelength monitoring.
