The spectra of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies

Osterbrock, D. E., Pogge, R. W.·1985·The Astrophysical Journal

Abstract

Measurements are presented of a group of active galactic nuclei with all the properties of Seyfert 1 or 1.5 galaxies, but with unusually narrow H I lines. They include Mrk 42, 359, and 1239 as well as Mrk 493, 766, 783, and 1126. One other somewhat similar object, Mrk 1388, is also included in the discussion. For these objects, narrow-line widths and intensities of the emission lines are discussed. Overall, these narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies show a wide variety of deviations from the properties of typical Seyfert 1 objects. They clearly demonstrate that the Seyfert phenomenon is not a simple one-parameter effect.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
