Narrow-line Seyfert 1s (NLS1s) observed at large inclinations from face-on are important for understanding this amazing AGN subclass. However, progress is slowly being made in the huntings and studies of highly obscured (EB–V ≥ 1) NLS1s. Recently, we discovered that multi-wavelength photometric and polarimetric analysis can be of great help in identifying and studying highly obscured NLS1s. This paper presents an intercomparison study of three typical highly obscured NLS1s. By joint analysis of extinction, absorption lines, and scattered AGN radiation, properties of the nucleus (disk and broad emission line regions) are measured. Physical and geometrical conditions about circum-nucleus obscuring/scattering clouds are also estimated. In addition, the host galaxies which are usually difficult to observe in such high luminosity NLS1s are also revealed in these targets. The results show that obscuration and scattering can be powerful probes to obscured NLS1s. Analogues of these obscured NLS1s are found to widely exist. In addition, they will be followed up in our future works, so as to understand the nuclei, circum-nucleus clouds, and host galaxies of NLS1s.

Many scenarios of the evolution of star clusters in the centers of galaxies involve the formation of a central supermassive object. Since black hole formation is not 100% efficient in mass usage, stars are left over. This paper investigates the properties of such stars and proposes that their externally heated atmospheres become “bloated” due to radiative forces from trapped line radiation. Such stars would swell to many times their normal diameters and acquire densities, sizes, and mean column masses typical of QSO/AGN emission line clouds (ELCs).

AbstractWe present a brief review of emission-line velocity differences, and describe an ongoing project to determine the driving mechanisms responsible. We conclude with a brief outline of the use of velocity differences as probes of the conditions in the nuclear region of AGNs.
