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…
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…
Four Partially Baked Results
Robert Antonucci, David H. Whysong
D Whysong and I have been carrying out a mid-IR survey of 3C radio galaxies to see which have IR-excesses, interpretable as hidden Type-1 AGN. Mostly due to relentless bad weather,…
Testing the Unified Model with an Infrared Selected Sample of Seyferts
H. R. Schmitt, J. S. Ulvestad, R. R. J. Antonucci +3
We present a series of statistical tests using homogeneous data and measurements for a sample of Seyfert galaxies. These galaxies were selected from mostly isotropic properties, th…
The Importance of Shocks in the Ionization of the Narrow Line Region of Seyferts
H. R. Schmitt, A. L. Kinney, J. B. Hutchings +2
We discuss the viability of shocks as the principal source of ionization for the Narrow Line Region of Seyfert galaxies. We present the preliminary results of [OIII]5007A and radio…
