The Narrow Line Region: Current Models and Future Questions

نویسنده

  • Brent Groves
چکیده

I present a broad overview of modelling of the Narrow Line Region (NLR) of active galaxies, and discuss some of the more recent models we currently have for the emission from the NLR. I show why the emission line ratios from the NLR are constrained to certain observed values, and describe what physical parameters we can derive from observations using emission line models. Also presented are some examples of this, looking at the metallicity and excitation mechanism of active galaxies. As a final point, the limitations of the current models are discussed, and how how the combination of modelling and theory can help us solve some of the questions that still remain within the NLR.

Explaining the Presence of Narrow-faced Bladelet Cores in Izeh Chipped Stone Assemblages and its relation to Population/Idea Movements in Late Pleistocene

Abstract: Several models of population/culture movements have been proposed based on bladelet production in Late Pleistocene of Eurasia. Narrow-faced bladelet/microblade cores, also known as "wedge shaped" cores in Central Asia and Far East studies, have been considered as a component of an inter-continent migration of people and idea which originated in Sibero-Mongolian region Upper Paleolithi...

Polyolefin and olefin production in Iran: Current and future capacities

Due to easy availability of cheaper raw material and increase in new applications, the use of polyolefins in various industries is becoming a major priority. The Middle East region, on account of its vast oil and gas reserves has, in the last decade or so, been developing many new petrochemical complexes with their expansion into colossal polyolefin production capacities. The predictions are th...

Modeling the current and future suitable habitat distribution of Fritillaria imperialis under climate change scenarios and using three general circulation model in Iran

Climate change may pose challenges to the conservation of plant species such as the Fritillaria imperialis that have narrow geographical distribution. In this study, the modeling suitable habitats of F.imperialis in Iran was done in the current condition and under climate change (2050). For this purpose, 78 species presence data along with 12 environmental variables including bioclimatic, physi...

Iran's Future Climate Conditions and Hazard in Climate Research

Global temperatures have increased in the past 100 years by an average of 0.74°C (IPCC, 2013), with minimum temperatures increasing faster than maximum temperatures and winter temperatures increasing faster than summer temperatures (IPCC, 2013). Total annual rainfall tends to increase at the higher latitudes and near the equator, while rainfall in the sub-tropics is likely to decline and become...

Evaluation of the performance of the CMIP5 General Circulation Models in predicting the Indian Ocean Monsoon precipitation over south Sistan and Baluchestan, using the past hydrological changes in the region

1-Introduction Climate change refers to any significant change in the existing mean climatic conditions within a certain time period (Jana and Majumder, 2010; Giorgi, 2006). Earth's climate change through history has happened (Nakicenovic et al., 2000; Bytnerowicz et al., 2007). 2-Materials and methods In this study, daily precipitation and daily maximum (Tmax) and daily minimum (Tmin) tempera...
