Naked active galactic nuclei
In this paper we report the discovery of a new class of active galactic nucleus in which although the nucleus is viewed directly, no broad emission lines are present. The results are based on a survey for AGN in which a sample of about 800 quasars and emission line galaxies were monitored yearly for 25 years. Among the emission line galaxies was the expected population of Seyfert 2 galaxies wit...

We combine Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data for ∼ 100 active galactic nuclei (AGN) available from the Very Large Baseline Array (VLBA) 2 cm imaging survey and optical spectroscopy to investigate the relationships in the emission-line region–central engine–radio jet system. Here, we present the diversity of spectral types among the brightest AGN in our sample. We also discuss correl...
متن کاملOptical Spectropolarimetry of Quasi-stellar Objects Discovered by the Two-micron All Sky Survey
Highly polarized QSOs discovered in the Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) have been observed to determine the source(s) of optical polarization in this near-infrared color-selected sample. Broad emission lines are observed in the polarized flux spectra of most objects, and the polarization of the lines is at about the same level and position angle as the continuum. Generally, the continuum is b...
متن کاملBalmer Emission Line Profiles and the Complex Properties of Broad Line Regions in Active Galactic Nuclei
In this work we analyze a sample of AGN spectra, selected from the 6 Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, exploiting a generalized technique of line profile analysis, designed to take into account the whole profiles of their broad emission lines. We find that the line profile broadening functions result from a complex structure, but we may be able to infer some constraints about the ro...
متن کاملAGN Broad Line Region Variability in the Context of Eigenvector 1: Case of NGC 5548
Many active galactic nuclei (AGN) show strong variability of the optical continuum. Since the line flux, profile shapes and intensity ratios are changing, we analyze the variability patterns and possible periodicity of Type 1 AGN NGC 5548, using the Eigenvector 1 (EV1) diagram in different variability states, taking advantage of very long term monitoring campaign data. The preliminary results s...
