Emission-Line versus Continuum Correlations in Active Galactic Nuclei
The Baldwin Effect, a negative correlation between emission-line equivalent width and luminosity in active galactic nuclei, is still of interest as a diagnostic of accretion physics nearly thirty years after its discovery. This review examines recent developments in the study of correlations between line and continuum emission in AGNs, as measured both in ensembles and in individual sources.
متن کاملActive Galactic Nuclei Emission-line Properties versus Eddington Ratio
We analyze UV spectra for a large sample of 578 Type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei and derive Eddington ratios, L/Ledd, from the bolometric luminosities and emission line widths for each object in the sample. The sample spans five orders of magnitude in supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass, seven orders of magnitude in luminosity, and a redshift range from 0 ≤ z ≤ 5. We include a sample of 26 lowreds...
متن کاملEmission-line diagnostics of low-metallicity active galactic nuclei
Current emission-line-based estimates of the metallicity of active galactic nuclei (AGN) at both high and low redshifts indicate that AGN have predominantly solar-to-supersolar metallicities. This leads to the question: do low-metallicity AGN exist? In this paper, we use photoionization models to examine the effects of metallicity variations on the narrow emission-lines from an AGN. We explore ...
متن کاملBalmer 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 کاملInfrared Spectroscopic Diagnostics for Active Galactic Nuclei
Infrared spectroscopy in the midand far-infrared provides powerful diagnostics for studying the emission regions in active galaxies. The large variety of ionic fine structure lines can probe gas conditions in a variety of physical conditions, from highly ionized gas excited by photons originated by black hole accretion to gas photoionized by young stellar systems. The critical density and the i...
