abstract = "We study a sample of 67 active galactic nuclei (AGN) with moderate
to strong Feii emission to investigate the relation between the
observed AGN continuum and the lines produced by the broad line
region (BLR), in particular, Feii. We found that the continuum in
the optical/near-infrared can be described in terms of two
components: a power-law, characterized by the spectral index
\α, and hot dust emission, represented by a Plank function
of temperature T. These two parameters seem not to be related to
the strength of Feii emission. In addition to Feii, we study other
low-ionization BLR lines such as Oi and Caii (hereafter CaT). We
found that the full-width at half maximum of these three lines are
similar, suggesting that they are produced in the same spatial
region of the BLR. We measure the Feii strength in the optical and
the near-infrared region and found that they are strongly
correlated. This result evidences the presence of a common
excitation mechanism for the Feii emission in the wavelength
interval 400024000 Å.",
