Abstract

In this project we propose to obtain metallicity indicators of Galaxy Active Nuclei based in emission-lines easily measured. For that, we will use grids of photoionization models build with the code Cloudy. We will use emission-line intensities of AGNs taken from the literature in order to compare results of metallicity obtained via our indicators with the ones proposed by other authors.
