The emission spectrum of the strong Fe II emitter BAL Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS 07598+6508
read the original abstract
The narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS 07598+6508 is known to be a stong Fe II emitter. The analysis of several high S/N ratio spectra shows that its spectrum is dominated by a relatively narrow "broad line" region (1 780 km s$^{-1}$ FWHM) emitting not only Fe II, but also Ti II and Cr II lines. Although we were unable to find a completely satisfactory physical model, we got the best agreement with the observations with collisional rather than radiative models, with a high density (n=10$^{15}$ cm$^{-3}$), a high column density (N$_{H}$=10$^{25}$ cm$^{-2}$) and a microturbulence of 100 km s$^{-1}$. This BLR is qualitatively similar to the one observed in I Zw 1. We have not found traces in IRAS 07598+6508 of the narrow line regions found in I Zw 1.
