Deconstructing the narrow-line region of the nearest obscured quasar

arXiv:1509.01056 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stv1864

Abstract

We study the physical and kinematic properties of the narrow line region (NLR) of the nearest obscured quasar MRK 477 (z=0.037), using optical and near-infrared spectroscopy. We explore a diversity of aspects that provide a more complete understanding of the nature of this object, example of a type 2 quasar in the nearby Universe, as well as a starburst-AGN hybrid system [abridged].
