Toward a classification scheme for broad-line profiles in active galactic nuclei

  • 1. Alabama Univ., Tuscaloosa (USA)

Description

The broad-line H-beta profile is studied for all of the quasars and Seyfert galaxies in the Palomar Bright Quasar Survey (Schmidt and Green, 1983) in order to determine the broad-line characteristics of AGNs. A classification scheme for broad-line H-beta is proposed and is used to study the range of line shifts and line asymmetries. 51 refs
