Anomalous broad-line region responses to continuum variability in active galactic nuclei - I. Hβ variability

C. Martin Gaskell et al.

Summary: The study found that anomalous responses of the BLR are very common and likely occur in every object. The anomalies can begin on a timescale only slightly longer than the light-crossing time and last for a duration of the order of the characteristic timescale of variability of the optical continuum. Anomalies are larger when NGC 5548 is in a low state, but otherwise show no correlation with continuum variability.

Swayamtrupta Panda

Summary: The modeling of low-ionization lines in AGNs faces challenges in explaining observed equivalent widths when realistic covering factors and broad-line region distances are considered. The study suggests adjusting the relationship between BLR irradiation and central continuum source to resolve inconsistencies. Analyzing emission strengths and physical parameters can help recover realistic equivalent widths and bring results in agreement with previous studies.

High Metal Content of Highly Accreting Quasars

Marzena Sniegowska et al.

Summary: By analyzing UV spectra of extreme Population A quasars, it is possible to estimate the chemical abundances of the broad-line-emitting gas, with validity of intensity line ratios as metallicity indicators depending on physical conditions. Additionally, different dynamical conditions of the low-ionization component and the blueshifted excess suggest high metallicity values, potentially the highest along the quasar main sequence.

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. IX. Velocity-Delay Maps for Broad Emission Lines in NGC 5548

Keith Horne et al.

Summary: The study successfully recovers velocity-delay maps for prominent broad emission lines in NGC 5548, providing unprecedented information on the geometry, ionization structure, and kinematics of the broad-line region. The results show a clear stratified ionization structure and provide insights into the bound reverberating gas and the black hole mass.

Improved Fe II Emission-line Models for AGNs Using New Atomic Data Sets

A. Sarkar et al.

Summary: Understanding Fe II emission in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) has been a challenge for decades, and recent research has incorporated new data to examine ultraviolet emission, showing different results depending on the data set used. By comparing predictions and observations, conclusions have been drawn that largely reproduce observed Fe II emissions and provide information on the Eigenvector 1 correlation in AGNs.
