FeII emission in NLS1s -- originating from denser regions with higher abundances?

Published 3 Dec 2019 in astro-ph.HE and astro-ph.GA | (1912.03119v1)

Abstract: The interpretation of the main sequence of quasars has become a frontier subject in the last years. The consider the effect of a highly flattened, axially symmetric geometry for the broad-line region (BLR) on the parameters related to the distribution of quasars along their Main Sequence. We utilize the photoionization code CLOUDY to model the BLR, assuming `un-constant' virial factor with a strong dependence on the viewing angle. We show the preliminary results of the analysis to highlight the co-dependence of the Eigenvector 1 parameter, R${\mathrm{FeII}}$ on the broad H$\beta$ FWHM (i.e. the line dispersion) and the inclination angle ($\theta$), assuming fixed values for the Eddington ratio ($\mathrm{L{bol}}/\mathrm{L_{Edd}}$), black hole mass ($\mathrm{M_{BH}}$) and spectral energy distribution (SED) shape. We consider four cases with changing cloud density (n$\rm{_{H}}$) and composition. Understanding the FeII emitting region is crucial as this knowledge can be extended to the use of quasars as distance indicators for Cosmology.
