Zusammenfassung: | We have discovered a very radio-loud Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 candidate: PKS
2004-447. This Seyfert is consistent with the formal definition for NLS1s,
although it does not have quite the same spectral features as some typical
members of this subclass. Only ROSAT survey data is available at X-ray
wavelengths, so it has not been possible to compare this source with other
NLS1s at these wavelengths. A full comparison of this source with other members
of the subclass will improve our physical understanding of NLS1s. In addition,
using standard calculations, we estimate the central black hole to have a mass
of $\sim 5 \times 10^6 M_{\odot}$. This does not agree with predictions in the
literature, that radio-loud AGN host very massive black holes. |
