“…Hα and Hβ) are commonly used to distinguish between stellar and nuclear activity (e.g., Baldwin et al, 1981;Veilleux and Osterbrock, 1987). In addition to optical, we explored new diagnostics at ultraviolet wavelengths for three reasons: (i) future facilities will provide high quality rest-ultraviolet spectra of the most distant sources, (ii) models are usually calibrated on optical observations of the local Universe and this might not always be appropriated to study the emission from star-formation and interstellar gas at high redshift, and (iii) standard optical diagnostic diagrams might fail to distinguish between stellar and AGN activity at higher redshift (e.g., in the case of low metallicity Groves et al, 2006;Coil et al, 2015;Feltre et al, 2016;Hirschmann et al, 2017). Diagrams involving combinations of a collisionally excited metal line or line multiplet, such as C IV λλ1548, 1551,…”
