DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa2783
Abstract: A sample of narrow-line (NLS1) and broad-line Seyfert 1 (BLS1) galaxies observed with Suzaku is presented. The final sample consists of 22 NLS1s and 47 BLS1s, for a total of 69 AGN that are all… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa767
Abstract: New reverberation mapping (RM) measurements, combined with accurate luminosities and line ratios, provide strong constraints on the location of the line emitting gas in the broad line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGN). In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1377
Abstract: Based on the spectral decomposition through a code of PrepSpec, the light curves (spanning 6.5 years in the observed frame) of the broad-line Balmer decrement, i.e., the flux ratio of the broad Hα to the broad… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stw2326
Abstract: The GeV-range spectra of blazars are shaped not only by non-thermal emission processes internal to the relativistic jet but also by external pair-production absorption on the thermal emission of th ... read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx568
Abstract: We calculated the polarization degree of hydrogen Balmer broad emission lines from a number of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with determined virial factors. The objects were selected from the sample presented by Decarli et al.(2008).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty2995
Abstract: Here we present the spectropolarimetric observations of a sample of 30 Type 1 AGNs and an analysis of the observed polarization in these AGNs. The observations have been performed with the 6-meter telescope of SAO… read more here.
