Yuan, H.Y. Zhou, T.G. Wang, H.L. Lu, X.B. Dong, J.X. Wang, Y. Lu Topic: 1 Session: oral Abstract: We report on first results obtained from a systematic study of NLS1 galaxies by making use of the SDSS data. We have compiled a large sample of NLS1s (Zhou et al. astro-ph/0603759) which comprises ~2200 objects selected by examining their spectral parameters derived from SDSS DR3 data. We present some preliminary results on the statistic properties of the sample, such as the fraction of NLS1, the properties of broad and narrow emission lines, and emission in the other wavebands. The black hole mass -- velocity dispersion relation for NLS1s was re-examined using the velocity dispersion values estimated from the stellar absorption spectra of the host galaxies.
