Steep Balmer Decrement in Weak AGNs May Not Be Caused by Dust Extinction: Clues from Low-luminosity AGNs and Changing-look AGNs
The hydrogen Balmer decrement (e.g., H α /H β ) is widely adopted as an indicator of the internal reddening of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). This is challenged by some low-luminosity AGNs and changing-look AGNs (CLAGNs), which have steep Balmer decrement but without strong evidence for absorption....
