abstract
The detection of gravitationally redshifted optical emission lines has been reported just for a few active galaxies. In this paper we give a short overview of studies that analyzed or exploited the detection of the gravitational redshift in optical AGN spectra. In addition, we tested the consistency of gravitational redshift as the physical origin of the redward shifts observed in their spectra using a sample of $\approx$ 50 Hamburg-ESO intermediate to high redshift quasars that are among the most luminous quasars known ($10^{47} \lesssim L \lesssim 10^{48}$ erg/s), and are expected to host very massive black holes. To this aim we modeled the line profile with accretion disk models around a black hole.

The effect of outflow launching radial efficiency of accretion disk on the shape of emission-line profiles
In the FRADO model, a photon-flux-dependent cloud emissivity makes broad-line profiles insensitive to the radial scaling of the disk mass-loss rate, while under uniform emissivity a steeper r^-3/2 scaling better match...
