Low-Luminosity AGNs and Unification
More than one third of all nearby galaxies show indications of low-luminosity nuclear activity. These low-luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs) are traditionally classified into a variety of categories depending on their forbidden-line ratios and on the presence or absence of broadline emission. By analogy with Seyfert unification models, it is natural to ask whether the various LLAGN types are different ma...
متن کاملThe Central Engines of Low-Luminosity AGNs
I summarize the main characteristics of AGNs in nearby galaxies and present a physical picture of their central engines. 1. The “Top 10” Properties of Low-luminosity AGNs Although the physical nature of some low-luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs) is still not fully understood, the weight of the recent cumulative evidence suggests that a significant fraction of them are genuinely accretion-powered sources...
متن کاملFe K EMISSION LINES IN LOW-LUMINOSITY AGNS
We present the results of a systematic analysis of Fe K emission lines in low-luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs) observed with ASCA. We used a sample of LLAGNs with small intrinsic absorption to compare with luminous AGNs and accretion models. Some objects show an Fe line at 6.4 keV or 6.7 keV, and the rest of the objects show no significant Fe K emission line. We made a composite spectrum of sources wit...
متن کاملModeling the QSO luminosity and spatial clustering at low redshifts
We investigate the ability of hierarchical models of QSO formation and evolution to match the observed luminosity, number counts and spatial clustering of quasars at redshift z < 2. These models assume that the QSO emission is triggered by galaxy mergers, that the mass of the central black hole correlates with halo properties and that quasars shine at their Eddington luminosity except, perhaps,...
متن کاملHigh-resolution Optical Rotation Curves of Low-luminosity Spiral Galaxies
We present optical long-slit spectroscopic observations of 21 low-luminosity, extreme late-type spiral galaxies. Our sample is comprised of Sc–Sm Local Supercluster spirals with moderate-to-low optical surface brightnesses and with luminosities at the low end for spiral disk galaxies (MV 18:8). For each galaxy we have measured high spatial resolution position-velocity (P-V) curves using the H e...
