Multiwavelength Properties of Narrow-line Seyfert 1's: Studying One Extreme of the AGN Primary Eigenvector
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are an important subclass of radio quiet AGN having extreme optical and X-ray spectroscopic properties. Their relationship to other types of Seyferts remains unclear. NLS1s exhibit many characteristics of Seyfert 1 AGN, but their optical spectra show narrow permitted lines, and some high ionization species. This may result from us viewing them close to ‘pole-on' orientation with respect to an inner torus geometry. We present comparisons of the radio and X-ray properties of NLS1s with those of the 12μm and CfA Seyfert samples.
