Broad-line region structure and line profile variations in the changing look AGN HE 1136-2304

Abstract: Aims.A strong X-ray outburst was detected in HE 1136-2304 in 2014. Accompanying optical spectra revealed that the spectral type has changed from a nearly Seyfert 2 type (1.95), classified by spectra taken 10 and 20 years ago, to a Seyfert 1.5 in our most recent observations. We seek to investigate a detailed spectroscopic campaign on the spectroscopic properties and spectral variability behavior of this changing look AGN and compare this to other variable Seyfert galaxies. Methods. We carried out a detailed sp… Show more

“…The 2D velocity maps of the Balmer line profiles reveal a faster response of the line wings (0−10 d) in comparison to a slower response of the line centers (10 − 30 d). A similar behaviour is observed in the He I λ5876 and He II λ4686 line (Kollatschny et al, 2018). The resulting kinematics is consistent with thin Keplerian disk BLR models (Horne et al, 2004).…”

“…Evidently, the spectrum of HE 1136-2304 exhibits clear variations of its continuum level. Furthermore, the RMS spectrum cleary shows variations not only in the broad Balmer lines but also -albeit lower -in the very broad higher ionization lines He I λ5876 and He II λ4686 (Kollatschny et al, 2018) 1 . In order to determine the time-lag between continuum and broad emission line variations -a method known as reverberation mapping -we extracted continuum and emission line light curves from all of the spectra.…”

“…Flat field, arc images (xenon and argon lamps) and spectra of standard stars were taken for the reduction and calibration process. The spectra were reduced in a homogeneous way (bias subtraction, cosmic ray correction, flat-field correction, 2D-wavelength calibration, night-sky subtraction and flux calibration) using IRAF reduction packages according to (Kollatschny et al, 2018). No further denoising was performed.…”
