We present a spectral atlas of 70 type-I AGN with the wavelength ranging 0.4–2.5 μm. For 37 sources, this is the first report of NIR spectroscopy in literature. The sample was constructed to study narrow line Seyfert 1 and quasars, with a large range of line widths (800 km s−1 < FWHM < 4000 km s−1) and Fe II intensities (0.2 < R4570 < 2.8). This work presents partial results of an ongoing project that has the objective of modeling the continuum emission and emission lines in order to derive the physics driven the Eigenvector 1 through a panchromatic spectral analysis, with emphasis on strong to super-strong Fe ii emitters. Our results show that hot dust near the sublimation temperature is necessary to explain the 1μm break of the power law component of the continuum. We estimated the hot dust mass and found a weak or absent correlation with the Fe II intensity. Moreover, we found that low ionisation ions are formed in an outer region of the BLR.
