Based on photoionization calculations we present a study of the NLR emission line ratios of Narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies. In particular, we investigate the influence of different EUV - soft-X-ray spectral shapes (a giant soft…
We report here our comparative analysis of active galactic nucleus (AGN) and star formation (SF) characteristics of a sample of narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) and broad-line Seyfert 1 (BLS1) galaxies. Our sample consisted of 373 BLS1 and 240…
We conducted very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of five radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies in milliarcsecond resolutions at 1.7 GHz (18 cm) using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). Significant parsec-scale…
To constrain models of the jet-disc connection, we explore Eddington ratios reported in Foschini (2011) and interpret them in relation to the values in Sikora et al. across the active galactic nuclei population from radio loud quasars,…
We report on the identification of a new $\gamma$-ray-emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy, SDSS J122222.55+041315.7, which increases the number of known objects of this remarkable but rare type of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to…
We report the discovery and analysis of the follow-up ROSAT pointed observation, an ASCA observation and optical and radio observations of the enigmatic Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy RX J0134.2-4258. While its spectrum was one of the softest…
By means of the data sets of the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS), we investigate the relationship between the variability amplitude and luminosity at 5100 \AA, black hole mass, Eddington ratio, $ R_{\rm Fe…
We report a 0.2" resolution, 15 GHz survey of a sample of 48 low-luminosity active galactic nuclei with the Very Large Array. Compact radio emission has been detected in 57% (17 of 30) of LINERs and low-luminosity Seyferts, at least 15 of…
The excellent soft X-ray sensitivity of the PSPC detector onboard the ROSAT satellite provided the first chance to study precisely the spectral and timing properties of Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies. ROSAT observations of Narrow-Line…
The discovery by the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi of variable gamma-ray emission from radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies revealed the presence of a possible third class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with relativistic…
We observed the narrow-line quasar SDSS J094857.3+002225, which has the highest known radio loudness for a narrow-line Seyfert~1 galaxy (NLS1), at 1.7--15.4 GHz with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). This is the first very-long-baseline…
We have studied the physical properties of a sample of narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies, and present a summary of our previous results, and new results. In particular, we have previously shown that (1) the locus of NLS1 galaxies on the…
We investigate gas metallicity of narrow-line regions in narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) and broad-line ones (BLS1s) in order to examine whether or not there is a difference in the gas metallicity between the two populations of…
In order to understand how the soft X-ray spectra vary we present the Hardness Ratio 1 versus Count Rates (HR1-CTs) correlation of 8 Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies (NLS1s) and 14 Broad-line Seyfert1 Galaxies (BLS1s) obtained during the…
We report the discovery of a radio-quiet to radio-loud transition in the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy J1105+1452. The source has undergone a long-term evolution from a radio-quiet state in the 1990s to a persistently radio-bright state…
We present a study of the host-galaxy morphologies of narrow- and broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s and BLS1s) based on broad-band optical images from the Hubble Space Telescope archives. We find that large-scale stellar bars, starting…
The supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are at the lowest end of mass function of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and preferentially reside in late-type host galaxies with pseudobulges, which are thought…
We report on the optical spectroscopic analysis of a sample of 99 low-luminosity quasi-stellar objects (LLQSOs) at $z\leq 0.06$ base the Hamburg/ESO QSO survey (HES). The LLQSOs presented here offer the possibility of studying the faint end…
The unified model of Seyfert galaxies suggests that there are hidden broad-line regions (HBLRs) in Seyfert 2 galaxies (S2s). However, there is increasing evidence for the appearance of a subclass of S2s lacking of HBLR (non-HBLR S2s). An…
We present spectra of 6 type 1 Seyfert galaxies, 2 Seyfert 2, a starburst galaxy and a compact narrow line radiogalaxy, taken in two spectral ranges centered around the near--IR CaII triplet (CaT) (at ~8600 Angstroms), and the Mgb stellar…
