Balmer Emission Line Profiles and the Complex Properties of Broad Line Regions in Active Galactic Nuclei
In this work we analyze a sample of AGN spectra, selected from the 6 Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, exploiting a generalized technique of line profile analysis, designed to take into account the whole profiles of their broad emission lines. We find that the line profile broadening functions result from a complex structure, but we may be able to infer some constraints about the ro...
متن کاملBloated Stars as AGN Broad Line Clouds: The Emission Line Profiles
The ‘Bloated Stars Scenario’ proposes that AGN broad line emission originates in the winds or envelopes of bloated stars (BS). Alexander and Netzer (1994) established that ∼ 5×10 BSs with dense, decelerating winds can reproduce the observed emission line spectrum and avoid rapid collisional destruction. Here, we use the observed properties of AGN line profiles to further constrain the model par...
متن کاملThe X-ray emission from broad absorption line quasars
Pointed ASCA observations as well as archival ROSAT data are used for a study of the X-ray emission of the three BAL Quasars LBQS 2212-1759, PG 1411+442, and PG 0043+039. All three objects are found to be X-ray quiet, possibly due to substantial intrinsic absorption with NH > 1023 cm−2 but might have intrinsically a more typical spectral energy distribution. This picture is supported by explici...
متن کاملBroad-line and Multi-wave Band Emission from Blazars
We study the correlations of the flux of the broad-line emission (FBLR) with the X-ray emission flux, optical emission flux at 5500 Å and radio emission flux at 5 GHz, respectively, for a large sample of 50 Blazars (39 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and 11 BL Lac objects). Our main results are as follows. There are very strong correlations between FBLR and FX and between LBLR and LX in bot...
متن کاملModels of Forbidden Line Emission Profiles from Axisymmetric Stellar Winds
A number of strong infrared forbidden lines have been observed in several evolved Wolf-Rayet star winds, and these are important for deriving metal abundances and testing stellar evolution models. In addition, because these optically thin lines form at large radius in the wind, their resolved profiles carry an imprint of the asymptotic structure of the wind flow. This work presents model forbid...
