abstract:

    line_1:        We propose to obtain high S/N spectra of 3 AGNs noted for their strong
    line_2:        optical Fe II emission, in order to study the properties of the Fe II UV
    line_3:        multiplets in the 2000-3000 A range.  This study builds on our development
    line_4:        of a unique empirical technique for determining the strength and velocity
    line_5:        profile of Fe II based on a template constructed from one of the proposed
    line_6:        objects, I Zwicky 1.  Our analysis will allow an accurate measure of the
    line_7:        relative strengths and profile widths of the UV and optical multiplets,
    line_8:        testing for saturation of the UV multiplets and estimating relative
    line_9:        contributions of collisional excitation, X-ray heating and fluorescence.
    line_10:       The total Fe II cooling rate will yield a better estimate of the BLR
    line_11:       covering factor.  The Fe II emission can then be subtracted, allowing
    line_12:       measurement of the Mg II profile and those of weaker features such as
    line_13:       C II\] 2325.  A clean determination of the continuum allows more sensitive
    line_14:       searches for Mg II doublets in absorption and the strength of any 2175 A
    line_15:       dust feature.  The narrow lines of I Zw 1 and PG 1404+226 will enable us
    line_16:       to identify the individual lines of the multiplets and compare an object
    line_17:       with \[Fe II\] to one without.  A comparison of the Mg II and H beta
    line_18:       profiles will constrain the relative geometry and kinematics of
    line_19:       the BLR cloud distribution for the two species.  PG 0804+761 shows much
    line_20:       stronger emission in multiplet 42, prompting a search for other anomalies.
