Variability of Broad and Blueshifted Component of [OIII]λ5007 in IZWI

Abstract

Although the existence of asymmetrical profile of [OIII]λ5007 has been discovered for ages, its filiation and physics are poorly understood. Two new spectra of I ZWI taken on Nov 16, 2001 and on Dec 3, 2002 were compared with the spectra taken by BG92. Following results are obtained. 1)The certain variations of broad [OIII] during about 10 years separating the observations are identified. The inferred length scale of broad [OIII] emitting region ranges from 0.3pc to 3pc. By assuming a Keplerian motion in emitting region, the material emitting broad [OIII] is likely to be located at transient emission line region, between BLR and NLR. 2)We find a positive relation between the FeII emission and flux of Hβ(or continuum). On the other hand, the parameter RFe decreases with ionizing continuum marginally. 3)We detect a low ionized NLR in I ZWI, because of the low flux ratios [OIII]n/Hβn(1.7).
