Outflowing Components in the Prototype Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy Markarian 478
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
Markarian 478 is the prototype narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy. Based on its spectra taken by the FUSE, HST/FOS, and Kitt Peak Observatory 2m Telescope, we find a tendency that the emission lines of increasing ionization level show increasing excess flux at their blue wings and an increasing line peak velocity shift. This may indicate an outflowing component in the Broad-Line Region (BLR) where the ionization level increases with ejection velocity. In the mean time, the associated absorption lines are present on the blue wings of the high-ionization emission doublet O VI λλ1032, 1038 and Lyman β line. The physical condition of some absorbing components can be well constrained with the assistance of photoionization models. The flux ratios at the blue wings of emission lines of various ionization levels, as a function of outflow velocity, could also put important constraints on the physical condition of the outflowing components.
