What's Emitting the Broad Emission Lines?

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I present a brief review about our ideas concerning the origin and nature of the broad line emitting gas. This is one of the outstanding problems in quasar research. I suggest the establishment of a central data base of high quality quasar spectra as a means to realize an understanding of quasars.
