An additional broad line region in 3C 390.3 associated with the jet
Abstract
We suggest the existence of two BLRs in 3C 390.3 which have different locations. The BLR1 is located at a distance in accordance to the hydrogen line time lags of ~20 days. This disk-like region emits predominantly low ionization lines. The BLR2 forms around the radio-jet and is located at the distance corresponding to time lags of ~ 40-80 days. The BLR2 is responsible for most of the emission in UV lines. The Lα line partly forms in BLR2 (40-60%) and partly in BLR1.
