The 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...
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 کاملLong-term Profile Variability of Double Peaked Emission Lines in Active Galactic Nuclei
We present up to two decades of spectroscopic monitoring of the double-peaked broad Hα emission lines of seven broad-line radio galaxies. These extremely broad, double-peaked lines are successfully modeled by emission from gas in the outer accretion disk, and their profiles vary on timescales of months to years. This variability is a valuable probe for understanding the structure and dynamics o...
متن کاملEmission Lines in X-ray Spectra of Clusters of Galaxies
Emission lines in X–ray spectra of clusters of galaxies reveal the presence of heavy elements in the diffuse hot plasma (the Intra Cluster Medium, or ICM) in virial equilibrium in the dark matter potential well. The relatively simple physical state of the ICM allows us to estimate, with good accuracy, its thermodynamical properties and chemical abundances. These measures put strong constraints ...
متن کاملEmission lines of Fe X in active region spectra obtained with the Solar Extreme - ultraviolet Research Telescope and Spectrograph
Fully relativistic calculations of radiative rates and electron impact excitation cross sections for Fex are used to derive theoretical emission-line ratios involving transitions in the 174–366Å wavelength range. A comparison of these with solar active region observations obtained during the 1989 and 1995 flights of the Solar Extreme-ultraviolet Research Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS) revea...
