In this work we approach the determination of the non-stellar continuum using the spectral synthesis technique. We chose a sample of 130 NLS1 available in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This sample comprehend all the objects of such class catalogued on the local universe (z<0.1). With this method we determined (a) central black hole masses, (b) accretion rates, (c) electronic densities in the narrow line region. We found and analyzed possible relations between this parameters.http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014RMxAC..44..194OpublishedVersionAstronomía (incluye Astrofísica y Ciencias del Espacio
