Reverberation Mapping and Broad-Line Region Models
I review what we have learned about the BLR from reverberation mapping, point to some problems and complications that have emerged, and outline some future directions.
متن کاملDiagnostics of Plasma Properties in Broad Line Region of AGNs
The Boltzmann-plot (BPT) method for laboratory plasma diagnostic was used for a quick estimate of physical conditions in the Broad Line Region (BLR) of 14 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). For the BLR of nine AGNs, where PLTE exist, the estimated electron temperature are in the range T∼ 130000K 37000K are in good agreement with previous estimates. The estimated electron densities depend on the opa...
متن کاملReverberation Mapping of Broad Line Regions in Actvie Galactic Nuclei
The time-delay between the emission-line variations and the continuum variations of a quasar or Seyfert galaxy can be used to estimate the distance between the broad line regions (BLRs) and the central source, and this technique is called the emission-line reverberation mapping (RM). Based on the RM observation, a relationship between the size of BLRs (RBLR) and the luminosity of AGNs can be es...
متن کاملLine Shifts, Broad-line Region Inflow, and the Feeding of Agns
We argue that both velocity-resolved reverberation mapping and spectropolarimetry require broad line regions (BLRs) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to have an inflow velocity on the order of a quarter of the velocity dispersion along the line of sight. We use the STOKES Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to show that electron and Rayleigh scattering off the BLR and torus naturally explains bo...
متن کاملOn the Intermediate Line Region in AGNs
In this paper we explore the intermediate line region (ILR) by using the photoionisation simulations of the gas clouds present at different radial distances from the center, corresponding to the locations from BLR out to NLR in four types of AGNs. We let for the presence of dust whenever conditions allow for dust existence. All spectral shapes are taken from the recent multi-wavelength campaign...
