The properties of emission lines and their correlations in spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei

Abstract

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are the most luminous objects in the Universe. It is assumed that an AGN consists of a supermassive black hole in the center, surrounded by accreating gas. In that process, a large amount of energy is produced, resulting in a very complex spectrum that shows a number of strong emission lines, which arise in the plasma located close to the supermassive black hole.
