One of them has a quasarlike luminosity and two, including the quasar-like one, have close companions and/or show interacting features. We calculate the central black hole masses and Eddington ratios for the five NLSls. In combination with the objects of Kaspi et al., we find that NLSls have smaller central black hole masses and higher accretion rate than normal Seyfert 1s.展开更多

We measured emission line properties by performing multi component fits to the emission line profiles, covering the effect of blended iron emission. We also obtained continuum parameters, including 250eV X ray luminosities derived from the ROSAT database. The measured properties are gathered for correlation analysis. Strong correlations between Hβ redshift, flux ratios of Fe Ⅱ to Hβ broad component and to Hβ narrow component are found. The observed trends are most likely driven by the Eddington ratio.展开更多

The optical spectra show the Balmer lines only slightly broader than the forbidden lines and contain strong Fe Ⅱ emission. No particularly soft X ray spectral slopes can be seen compared to a normal Seyfert 1 galaxies sample.展开更多
We present and analyze the variability of three Seyfert galaxies on intra-day timescales.

We have analyzed in a uniform manner the 38 longest(> 30 ks) observations made for NGC 4051, MCG-06–30–15 and NGC 4151 by XMM-Newton between 2000 and 2015. The nuclei were quite active during essentially all of these observations and the overall X-ray fluxes(0.3–10 keV) varied by an order of magnitude. Most of the observations do appear to show characteristic timescales, estimated through their auto-correlation functions, ranging between ~2.9 ks and ~45.3 ks. The hard(2–10 keV) and soft(0.3–2.0 keV) bands are very well correlated but consideration of their hardness ratios shows that the sources typically soften during flares. We also provide new estimates of the central black hole masses for these three AGNs that support the hypothesis that Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies have relatively small central black holes.展开更多
