HST unveils a compact mildly relativistic Broad Line Region in the candidate true type 2 NGC 3147
NGC 3147 has been considered the best case of a true type 2 AGN: an
unobscured AGN, based on the unabsorbed compact X-ray continuum, which lacks a
broad line region (BLR). However, the very low luminosity of NGC 3147 implies a
compact BLR, which produces very broad lines, hard to detect against the
dominant background host galaxy. Narrow (0.1"x0.1") slit HST spectroscopy
allowed us to exclude most of the host galaxy light, and revealed an H
line with an extremely broad base (FWZI km s). The line
profile shows a steep cutoff blue wing and an extended red wing, which match
the signature of a mildly relativistic thin accretion disk line profile. It is
indeed well fit with a nearly face on thin disk, at , with an
inner radius at r, which matches the prediction of
r from the relation. This
result questions the very existence of true type 2 AGN. Moreover, the detection
of a thin disk, which extends below 100 r in an
system, contradicts the current view of the accretion flow configuration at
extremely low accretion rates.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in MNRAS Letter
Cohort profile: The Observational cohort for the study of DOlutegravir in Antiretroviral Combination REgimens (ODOACRE)
The Observational cohort for the study of DOlutegravir in Antiretroviral Combination REgimens (ODOACRE) cohort was established in Italy in 2016 to evaluate the overall efficacy and tolerability of dolutegravir (DTG)-based antiretroviral (ARV) regimens in clinical practice
