Statistical Properties of Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
The number of publications considering Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies has increased dramatically in recent years. Especially after the launch of the X-ray missions ROSAT and ASCA, Narrow-Line Seyfert 1s have become very popular. In these proceedings I will give an overview of how they are distributed over the electromagnetic spectrum. I will describe what we know about them at radio, infrared, optical, and X-ray bands, and how they differ and how they are similar to Broad-Line Seyfert 1s. Finally I will introduce a method to find them with high probability.

Narrow Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies and the Evolution of Galaxies & Active Galaxies
Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are intriguing due to their continuum as well as emission line properties. The observed peculiar properties of the NLS1s are believed to be due to accretion rate close to Eddington limit. As a consequence, for a given luminosity, NLS1s have smaller black hole (BH) masses compared to normal Seyfert galaxies. Here we argue that NLS1s might be Seyfert galaxie...
متن کاملAGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملHow Do We See the Nuclear Region ( r < 0 . 1 pc ) of Narrow - Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies ?
We propose two statistical tests to investigate how we see the nuclear region (r < 0.1 pc) of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s). 1) The high-ionization nuclear emission-line region (HINER) test: Seyfert 1 galaxies (S1s) have systematically higher flux ratios of [Fevii] λ6087 to [O iii] λ5007 than Seyfert 2 galaxies (S2s). This is interpreted in that a significant part of the [Fevii] λ6087 ...
متن کاملA comparison of the hard ASCA spectral slopes of broad and narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies
The soft (≈ 0.1–2.0 keV) X-ray spectra of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies are known to be generally steeper than those of Seyfert 1 galaxies with broader optical permitted lines. This has been attributed to the presence of strong soft X-ray excesses, over the hard X-ray power law, in many narrow-line Seyfert 1s. Here we use the currently available ASCA data to systematically compare the harder (...
متن کاملRelativistic jets in narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. New discoveries and open questions
Before the launch of the Fermi satellite only two classes of AGNs were known to produce relativistic jets and thus emit up to the γ-ray energy range: blazars and radio galaxies, both hosted in giant elliptical galaxies. The first four years of observations by the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi confirmed that these two are the most numerous classes of identified sources in the extragalactic...
