The Variable Diffuse Continuum Emission of Broad Line Clouds
We investigate the wavelength-dependent intensity and reverberation properties of the UV-optical diffuse continuum emission expected from broad emission line gas. The “locally optimally-emitting clouds” picture is adopted, with the cloud distribution functions in gas density and distance from the ionizing source determined by a fit to the mean UV emission line spectrum from the 1993 HST campaig...
متن کاملThe contribution continuum
The most common reason manuscripts fail to clear the hurdle necessary for publication in leading journals is a lack of strong incremental contribution. Reviewers often compliment the exposition of a paper and praise the research design only to conclude that the paper contains nothing that is newsworthy. This is a frustrating outcome for an author. As a result, the most frequent question asked o...
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 کاملContinuum Emission by Cooling Clouds
The collapse of baryons into the center of a host dark matter halo is accompanied by radiation that may be detectable as compact ( < ∼ 10 kpc) UV-continuum and Lyα emission with Lyα luminosities as high as ∼ 1042 −1043 erg s−1 in halos of mass M = 1011 − 10M⊙. We show that the observed equivalent width (EW) of the Lyα line emitted by these cooling clouds is EW < ∼ 400 Å (restframe). These lumin...
