Revealing AGN by Polarimetry
Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Catherine Boisson +1
Polarimetric study in the UV and optical has been one of the keys to reveal the structure and nature of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Combined with the HST's high spatial resolutio…
Effects of Fluid Instabilities on Accretion Disk Spectra
S. W. Davis, O. M. Blaes, N. J. Turner +1
Numerical calculations and linear theory of radiation magnetohydrodynamic flows indicate that the photon bubble and magnetorotational instability (MRI) may produce large density in…
Using Multiwavelength Observations to Estimate the Black Hole Masses and Accretion Rates in Seyfert Galaxies
James Chiang, Omer Blaes
We model the spectral energy distribution of the type 1 Seyfert galaxies, fitting data from simultaneous optical, UV, and X-ray monitoring observations. We assume a geometry consis…
The Shape of the Big Blue Bump as Revealed by Spectropolarimetry
R. Antonucci, M. Kishimoto, C. Boisson +1
Thermal models for the quasar Big Blue Bump generally lead to bound-free continuum features, which may be in absorption or emission. Searches for Lyman edges attributable to quasar…
A First Close Look at the Balmer Edge Behavior of the Quasar Big Blue Bump
Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Omer Blaes
We have found for the first time a Balmer edge feature in the polarized flux spectrum of a quasar (Ton 202). The edge feature is seen as a discontinuity in the slope, rather than a…
