On the Nature of Low‐Luminosity Narrow‐Line Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 There is clear observational evidence that some narrow-line (type 2) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have a hidden broad-line region (BLR) and are thus intrinsically broad-line (type 1) AGNs. Does this AGN unification apply for all type 2 AGNs? Indirect arguments suggest that some "true" type 2 AGNs, i.e., AGNs having no obscured BLR, do exist, but it is
