Fe II velocity shifts in optical spectra of type 1 AGN
E. Bon, P. Marziani, M. Berton +4
Here we present a critical view of practical problems in the analysis of optical Fe II emission lines of Type 1 AGN spectra. Besides the very complex and unclear physical interpret…
Highly accreting quasars: The SDSS low-redshift catalog
C. A. Negrete, D. Dultzin, P. Marziani +8
The most highly accreting quasars (xA) are of special interest in studies of the physics of AGNs and host galaxy evolution. Quasars accreting at high rates (L/LEdd 1) hold p…
Narrow-line Seyfert 1s: what is wrong in a name?
P. Marziani, A. del Olmo, M. D' Onofrio +6
Narrow-line Seyfert 1s (NLSy1s) are an ill-defined class. Work done over the past 20 years as well as recent analyses show a continuity in properties (e.g., Balmer line profiles, b…
Exploring possible relations between optical variability time scales and broad emission line shapes in AGN
E. Bon, P. Jovanovic, P. Marziani +2
Here we investigate the connection of broad emission line shapes and continuum light curve variability time scales of type-1 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We developed a new model…
Spectroscopy and spectropolarimetry of AGN: from observations to modelling
L. C. Popovic, D. Ilic, E. Bon +10
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are one of the most luminous objects in the Universe, emitting powerful continuum and line emission across all wavelength bands. They represent an impo…
A main sequence for quasars
P. Marziani, D. Dultzin, J. W. Sulentic +7
The last 25 years saw a major step forward in the analysis of optical and UV spectroscopic data of large quasar samples. Multivariate statistical approaches have led to the definit…
