Title: The intrinsic Baldwin effect in broad Balmer lines of six long-term monitored AGNs,
Abstract: We investigate the intrinsic Baldwin effect (Beff) of the broad H$\alpha$ and
H$\beta$ emission lines for six Type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with
different broad line characteristics: two Seyfert 1 (NGC 4151 and NGC 5548),
two AGNs with double-peaked broad line profiles (3C 390.3 and Arp 102B), one
narrow line Seyfert 1 (Ark 564), and one high-luminosity quasar with highly red
asymmetric broad line profiles (E1821+643). We found that a significant
intrinsic Beff was present in all Type 1 AGNs in our sample. Moreover, we do
not see strong difference in intrinsic Beff slopes in different types of AGNs
which probably have different physical properties, such as inclination, broad
line region geometry, or accretion rate. Additionally, we found that the
intrinsic Beff was not connected with the global one, which, instead, could not
be detected in the broad H$\alpha$ or H$\beta$ emission lines. In the case of
NGC 4151, the detected variation of the Beff slope could be due to the change
in the site of line formation in the BLR. Finally, the intrinsic Beff might be
caused by the additional optical continuum component that is not part of the
ionization continuum.
