Presentation description
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are highly energetic regions at the center of some galaxies. Astronomers strongly believe that supermassive black holes are the main engine behind AGNs. This research focuses on developing a program to analyze emission features from the AGN in the galaxy NGC 4395 using Gaussian models. By identifying well-fitted emission features, we can establish templates for future studies of other AGNs. Being the nearest AGN with visible broad lines (Type 1 AGN), NGC 4395 provides astronomers with an excellent model for studies of other Type 1 AGN.
