BLR velocities in optically and X - ray selected AGN samples
We have analyzed optical spectra of 473 X-ray and 235 optically selected AGNs, to study their emission line properties. We present results of an analysis of the Hβ linewidths. We find that the linewidth distribution of quasars is shifted towards higher velocities (=4300 km s) compared to the distribution of Sy 1s (=3000 km s). There are no Narrow Line Quasars, i.e. there are no AGNs with ...
متن کاملWhy X-ray–selected Agn Appear Optically Dull
We investigate why half of X-ray–selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) in deep surveys lack signs of accretion in their optical spectra. The majority of these “optically–dull” AGN are no more than ∼ 6 times fainter than their host galaxies in rest-frame R-band; as such, AGN lines are unlikely to be overwhelmed by stellar continuum in at least half the sample. We find that optically–dull AGN hav...
متن کاملNew bright soft X - ray selected ROSAT AGN
We present the emission line properties of a sample of 76 bright soft X-ray selected ROSAT Active Galactic Nuclei. All optical counterparts are Seyfert 1 galaxies with rather narrow permitted lines, strong optical FeII line blends, and weak forbidden lines. By selection, they also have steep soft X-ray spectra when compared with typical Seyfert 1 galaxies. We discuss possible origins of these p...
متن کاملX - ray variability in a complete sample of Soft X - ray selected AGN ⋆
We present ROSAT All-Sky Survey and ROSAT pointed observations (PSPC and HRI) of a complete sample of 113 bright soft X-ray AGN selected from the ROSAT Bright Source Catalog. We compare these observations in order to search for extreme cases of flux and spectral X-ray variability-X-ray transient AGN. Three definite transients and one transient candidate are found. The other sources show amplitu...
متن کاملNew Bright Soft X-ray Selected Rosat Agn: I. Infrared–to–x-ray Spectral Energy Distributions
We present results of an infrared-to-X-ray study of 76 bright soft X-ray selected Seyfert galaxies discovered in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. These objects are characterized by steep X-ray spectra in the 0.2-2.0 keV bandpass with power law energy spectral indices in the range of 1.3 to 8 and a lack of internal absorption by neutral hydrogen. Our sample selection based on hardness ratio yields a me...
