Metal Abundances of Intermediate-redshift Active Galactic Nuclei: Evidence for a Population of Lower-metallicity Seyfert 2 Galaxies at z = 0.3–0.4
We derive oxygen abundances for two samples of Seyfert 2 (Sy2) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected from the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS). The two samples from KISS include 17 intermediate-redshift (0.29 ≤ z ≤ 0.42) Sy2s detected via their [O iii ] lines, and 35 low-redshift ( z...
