Are There Higher Electron Densities in Narrow Emission Line Regions of Type-1 AGNs than in Type-2 AGNs?

In the manuscript, we check properties of electron densities n _e traced by flux ratio R _sii of [S ii ] λ 6716 Å to [S ii ] λ 6731 Å in narrow emission line regions (NLRs) between Type-1 active galactic nucleus (AGN) and Type-2 AGN in SDSS Data Release 12 (DR12). Under the framework of unified mode...
