On type 1 active galactic nuclei with double-peaked [O~{\sc iii}]. I. data sample and basic results

Qi Zheng, Yansong Ma, Xueguang Zhang +2

Double-peaked narrow emission lines (DPNELs) might be evidence for the existence of kpc-scale dual AGNs. There are so far large samples of objects with DPNELs in narrow emission li…

Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XIII. Ultraviolet Time Lag of H Emission in Mrk 142

V. C. Khatu, S. C. Gallagher, K. Horne +17

We performed a rigorous reverberation-mapping analysis of the broad-line region (BLR) in a highly accreting () active galactic nucleus, Markarian 142 (…

The variability of the broad-line Balmer decrement for quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping

Yan-Song Ma, Shao-Jun Li, Chen-Sheng Gu +4

Based on the spectral decomposition through a code of PrepSpec, the light curves (spanning 6.5 years in the observed frame) of the broad-line Balmer decrement, i.e., the flux ratio…

Revisiting Emission-Line Measurement Methods for Narrow-Line Active Galactic Nuclei

Viraja C. Khatu, Sarah C. Gallagher, Keith Horne +16

Measuring broad emission-line widths in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is not straightforward owing to the complex nature of flux variability in these systems. Line-width measurement…

The -based dimensionless accretion rate and its connection with the corona for AGN

Y. Q. Chen, Y. S. Liu, W. H. Bian

With respect to the full width at half-maximum (), the broad line dispersion () was preferred as a velocity tracer to calculate the sin…

Evidence for quasar fast outflows being accelerated at the scale of tens of parsecs

Zhicheng He, Guilin Liu, Tinggui Wang +14

Quasar outflows may play a crucial role in regulating the host galaxy, although the spatial scale of quasar outflows remain a major enigma, with their acceleration mechanism poorly…

Active Galactic Nuclei with Ultra-fast Outflows Monitoring Project: The Broad-line Region of Mrk 79 as a Disk Wind

Kai-Xing Lu, Jin-Ming Bai, Zhi-Xiang Zhang +23

We developed a spectroscopic monitoring project to investigate the kinematics of the broad-line region (BLR) in active galactic nuclei (AGN) with ultra-fast outflows (UFOs). Mrk~79…

The variability of optical \feii emission in PG QSO 1700+518

W. H. Bian, K. Huang, C. Hu +4

It is found that \feii emission contributes significantly to the optical and ultraviolet spectra of most active galactic nuclei. The origin of the optical/UV \feii emission is stil…

Suppressed star formation in circumnuclear regions in Seyfert galaxies

J. -M. Wang, Y. -M. Chen, C. -S. Yan +2

Feedback from black hole activity is widely believed to play a key role in regulating star formation and black hole growth. A long-standing issue is the relation between the star f…

The relation between X-ray spectral index and the Eddington ratio in AGNs

W. Bian

Using the H linewidth, we obtained the virial central supermassive black hole masses and then the Eddington ratios in a sample of broad-line AGNs and NLS1s observed by ASCA. Com…
