Super-Eddington Accretion in Quasars

P. Marziani, K. Garnica Luna, A. Floris +5

This review provides an observational perspective on the fundamental properties of super-Eddington accretion onto supermassive black holes in quasars. It begins by outlining the se…

Chemical abundances along the quasar main sequence

A. Floris, P. Marziani, S. Panda +5

The 4D eigenvector 1 (E1) sequence has emerged as a powerful tool for organizing the observational and physical characteristics of type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In this stu…

The Quasar 3C 47: Extreme Population B Jetted Source With Double-peaked Profile

Shimeles Terefe Mengistue, Paola Marziani, Ascensión del Olmo +3

Context. An optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disk (AD) around a supermassive black hole might contribute to broad-line emission in type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGN).…

From sub-solar to super-solar chemical abundances along the quasar main sequence

Paola Marziani, Alberto Floris, Alice Deconto-Machado +8

The 4D Eigenvector 1 sequence has proven to be a highly effective tool for organizing observational and physical properties of type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this paper, w…

High-redshift quasars along the Main Sequence

A. Deconto-Machado, A. del Olmo, P. Marziani +2

We aim to evaluate the behaviour of our 22 high-redshift (2.2 < z < 3.7) and high-luminosity (47.39 < Lbol < 48.36) quasars in the context of the 4-Dimensional Eigenvector 1. Our a…

What about high redshift sources in the Main Sequence of quasars?

A. Deconto-Machado, A. del Olmo Orozco, P. Marziani

Much effort has been done in order to better understand the active galactic nuclei mechanisms behind the relativistic jets observed in radio-loud sources. These phenomena are commo…

The intermediate-ionization lines as virial broadening estimators for Population A quasars

P. Marziani, A. del Olmo, C. A. Negrete +10

The identification of a virial broadening estimator in the quasar UV rest frame suitable for black hole mass computation at high redshift has become an important issue. We compare…

Isolating an outflow component in single-epoch spectra of quasars

Paola Marziani, Alice Deconto-Machado, Ascension del Olmo

Gaseous outflows appear to be a universal property of type-1 and type-2 active galactic nuclei (AGN). The main diagnostic is provided by emission features shifted to higher frequen…

Gas phase metallicity determinations in nearby AGNs with SDSS-IV MaNGA: evidence of metal poor accretion

Janaína C. do Nascimento, Oli L. Dors, Thaisa Storchi-Bergmann +8

We derive the metallicity (traced by the O/H abundance) of the Narrow Line Region ( NLR) of 108 Seyfert galaxies as well as radial metallicity gradients along their galaxy disks an…

Ionised Gas Kinematics in MaNGA AGN. Extents of the Narrow Line and Kinematically Disturbed regions

A. Deconto-Machado, R. A. Riffel, G. S. Ilha +11

We analyse the kinematics of 170 AGN host galaxies as compared to those of a matched control sample of non-active galaxies from the MaNGA survey in order to characterise and estima…

The Main Sequence of quasars: the taming of the extremes

P. Marziani, E. Bon, N. Bon +12

The last few years have seen the confirmation of several trends associated with the quasar main sequence. The idea of a main sequence for quasars is relatively recent, and its full…
