My work this summer:
I deconvolved HST FOS spectra of Seyfert 1 galaxies using gaussian
curve-fitting to extract broad-line emission fluxes. I also
constructed a mean ionizing continuum for the Seyferts using published
SED's. The continuum and the broad-line fluxes were then used as
input to the CLOUDY photoionization simulation to simulate conditions
in the broad line region of active galactic nuclei.
(and if you understood that... let me know what it means)
