Spectropolarimetry of Broad Hα Lines and Geometry of the BLR
In a small fraction of Broad Line Radio Galaxies (BLRG) and Seyfert 1 galaxies, the polarization position angle rotates across the broad emission lines, especially at Hα. An understanding of this behavior can potentially yield important information on the scattering geometry in the nucleus. We show two examples of this phenomenon, 3C 445, a BLRG, and Mrk 231, a Seyfert 1, and present an equator...
متن کاملUv Spectropolarimetry of Narrow-line Radio Galaxies
We present the results of UV spectropolarimetry (λrest ≃ 2000 − 3000Å) and far-UV spectroscopy (λrest ≃ 1500 − 2000Å) of two low-redshift narrow-line radio galaxies (NLRGs) taken with the Faint Object Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Spectropolarimetry of several NLRGs has shown that, by the presence of broad permitted lines in polarized flux spectrum, they have hidden qua...
متن کاملDouble - Peaked Broad Emission Lines in NGC 4450 and Other LINERs 1
Spectra taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) reveal that NGC 4450 emits Balmer emission lines with displaced double peaks and extremely high-velocity wings. This characteristic line profile, previously seen in a few nearby LINERs and in a small fraction of broad-line radio galaxies, can be interpreted as a kinematic signature of a relativistic accretion disk. We can reproduce the observe...
متن کاملBlack hole mass and accretion rate of active galactic nuclei with double-peaked broad emission lines
Using an empirical relation between the broad line region size and optical continuum luminosity, we estimated the black hole mass and accretion rate for 135 AGNs with double-peaked broad emission lines in two samples, one from the SDSS and the other from a survey of radio-loud broad emission line AGNs. With black hole masses in a range from 3×10M⊙ to 5×10 M⊙, these AGNs have the dimensionless a...
متن کاملThe Ultraviolet Spectra of Active Galaxies With Double-Peaked Emission Lines
We present the results of UV spectroscopy of AGNs with double-peaked Balmer emission lines. In 2/3 of the objects, the far-UV resonance lines are strong, with single-peaked profiles resembling those of Seyfert galaxies. The Mg ii line is the only UV line with a doublepeaked profile. In the remaining objects, the far-UV resonance lines are relatively weak but still single-peaked. The latter grou...
