英文摘要 | The physical origins of the diverse emission-line asymmetries observed in the spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are not completely understood. Monitoring the temporal variations of line profiles offers a promising approach to investigating the underlying physics. In this study, we present an analysis of the broad H beta emission line profiles of eight AGNs observed from 2016-2023 May as part of the reverberation mapping campaign titled Monitoring AGNs with H beta Asymmetry, utilizing data obtained from the Wyoming Infrared Observatory 2.3 m telescope. We measure the temporal variations of line asymmetry, width, and central velocity shift for the eight objects. Our findings reveal that the variation in asymmetry is positively correlated with H beta flux in five of the eight objects, while the remaining objects exhibit negative or complex correlations. Furthermore, we observe anticorrelations between line width and H beta flux for most objects, indicating the presence of the breathing phenomenon in their H beta emission lines. In contrast, two objects demonstrate an anti-breathing phenomenon or complex behavior. We discuss the physical origins of the temporal variations in line profiles and propose the possibility of decomposing the variations in H beta asymmetry and width into components: one that corresponds to short-term variations in H beta flux and another that reflects long-term variations in continuum light curves, perhaps driven by radiation pressure. |
