The physical driver of the optical Eigenvector 1 in Quasar Main Sequence
  Quasars are complex sources, characterized by broad band spectra from radio
through optical to X-ray band, with numerous emission and absorption features.
However, Boroson & Green (1992) used Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and
with this analysis they were able to show significant correlations between the
measured parameters. The leading component, related to Eigenvector 1 (EV1) was
dominated by the anticorrelation between the Fe${\mathrm{II}}$ optical emission
and [OIII] line and EV1 alone contained 30% of the total variance. It opened a
way in defining a quasar main sequence, in close analogy to the stellar main
sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russel (HR) diagram (Sulentic et al. 2001). The
question still remains which of the basic theoretically motivated parameters of
an active nucleus (Eddington ratio, black hole mass, accretion rate, spin, and
viewing angle) is the main driver behind the EV1. Here we limit ourselves to
the optical waveband, and concentrate on theoretical modelling the
Fe${\mathrm{II}}$ to H$\mathrm{\beta}$ ratio, and we test the hypothesis that
the physical driver of EV1 is the maximum of the accretion disk temperature,
reflected in the shape of the spectral energy distribution (SED). We performed
computations of the H$\mathrm{\beta}$ and optical Fe${\mathrm{II}}$ for a broad
range of SED peak position using CLOUDY photoionisation code. We assumed that
both H$\mathrm{\beta}$ and Fe${\mathrm{II}}$ emission come from the Broad Line
Region represented as a constant density cloud in a plane-parallel geometry. We
expected that a hotter disk continuum will lead to more efficient production of
Fe${\mathrm{II}}$ but our computations show that the Fe${\mathrm{II}}$ to
H$\mathrm{\beta}$ ratio actually drops with the rise of the disk temperature.
Thus either hypothesis is incorrect, or approximations used in our paper for
the description of the line emissivity is inadequate.
