Spatially Resolved Spectropolarimetry of NGC 1068
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994)
A turning point in the study of AGN was the discovery of broad hydrogen lines seen in polarized light in the nucleus of NGC 1068 (Antonucci and Miller 1985). A model was developed whereby the scatterers responsible for ...
Near-IR Spectropolarimetry of NGC 1088
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994)
The current unified model of Seyfert galaxies, as proposed by Antonucci and Miller (1985), has most, if not all, Seyfert 2 galaxies hosting a Seyfert 1 type nucleus in their cores. The broad lines from the type 1 nucleus ...
Hidden broad-line regions and anisotropy in AGN
(1994)
We discuss the recent advances made in the search for hidden broad line regions in Seyfert and Narrow Line Radio Galaxies (NLRG) using both spectropolarimetry and infrared spectroscopy/spectropolarimetry. Two important ...
Spectropolarimetry of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS 110548-1131
(1993)
From spectropolarimetric observations of the galaxy IRAS 110548-1131 we report very strong, broad H-alpha emission (FWHM 7600 km/s) in the polarized flux spectrum. This suggests that IRAS 110548-1131 has an obscured ...
Evidence for an Obscured Broadline Region in the Early Type Radio Galaxy IC5063
(1993)
We report the detection of strong, broad Hα emission seen in polarized flux from the early-type radio galaxy IC 5063. This suggests that the galaxy has a broad-line region which is obscured from our direct view, with the ...
