| 英文摘要 | It is found that Fe II emission contributes significantly to the optical and ultraviolet spectra of most active galactic nuclei. The origin of the optical/UV Fe II emission is still open to debate. The variability of Fe II would give clues to this origin. Using 7.5 yr spectroscopic monitoring data of one Palomar-Green (PG) quasi-stellar object (QSO), PG 1700+518, with strong optical Fe II emission, we obtain the light curves of the continuum f(lambda)(5100 angstrom), Fe II, the broad component of H beta, and the narrow component of H beta by spectral decomposition. Through the interpolation cross-correlation method, we calculate the time lags for the light curves of Fe II, the total H beta, the broad component of H beta, and the narrow component of H beta with respect to the continuum light curve. We find that the Fe II time lag in PG 1700+518 is 209(-147)(+100) days, while the H beta time lag cannot be determined. Assuming that the Fe II and H beta emission regions follow the virial relation between the time lag and the FWHM for the H beta and Fe II emission lines, we can derive the H beta time lag to be 148(-104)(+72) days. The H beta time lag calculated from the empirical luminosity-size relation is 222 days, which is consistent with our measured Fe II time lag. Considering the optical Fe II contribution, PG 1700+518 shares the same spectral slope variability characteristic, i.e., harder spectrum during brighter phase, as the other 15 PG QSOs in our previous work. |
