A new, complete sample of 14,584 broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z < 0.35 is presented, which are uncovered homogeneously from the complete database of galaxies and quasars observed spectroscopically in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Seventh Data Release. The stellar continuum is proper...
