Bloated 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 کاملBloated Stars as AGN Broad Line Clouds: The Emission Lines Response to Continuum Variations
The ‘Bloated Stars Scenario’ proposes that AGN broad line emission originates in the winds or envelopes of bloated stars (BS). Alexander and Netzer (1994, 1996) established that ∼ 5×10 BSs with dense, decelerating winds can reproduce the observed emission line spectrum and line profiles while avoiding rapid collisional destruction. Here, I investigate a third prediction of the model, related to...
متن کاملLensing of Stars by Spherical Gas Clouds
If the Galaxy contains ∼1011M⊙ in cold gas clouds of ∼Jovian mass and ∼AU size, these clouds will act as converging lenses for optical light, magnifying background stars at a detectable rate. The resulting light curves can resemble those due to gravitational lensing by a point mass, raising the possibility that some of the events attributed to gravitational microlensing might in fact be due to ...
متن کاملLuminous carbon stars in the Magellanic Clouds?
We present ground-based 3 μm spectra of obscured Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs). We identify the carbon stars on the basis of the 3.1 μm absorption by HCN and C2H2 molecules. We show evidence for the existence of carbon stars up to the highest AGB luminosities (Mbol = −7 mag, for a distance modulus to the LMC of 18.7 mag). This proves that Hot Bottom Burning ...
متن کاملAGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds
Regions of different metallicity have been identified in the Magellanic Clouds by using the ratio between Asymptotic Giant Branch stars of spectral type C and M. In the Large Magellanic Cloud the ratio appears to decrease radially while in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) there is no clear trend, reflecting either the large extension of the SMC along the line of sight or a more complex star for...
