Variability of Double-Peaked Emission Lines in AGNs as a Probe of the Broad-Line Region Structure

Variability of Double-Peaked Emission Lines in AGNs as a Probe of the Broad-Line Region Structure

We demonstrate that the disk-wind model for the broad-line region (BLR) can explain the variability from single-peaked to double-peaked emission line (DPEL) profiles observed in some active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and can produce realistic single-peaked line profiles if the inclination and size of th...
