A Uniformly Selected Sample of Low-mass Black Holes in Seyfert 1 Galaxies

Xiao-Bo Dong, Luis C. Ho, Weimin Yuan +4

We have conducted a systematic search of low-mass black holes (BHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with broad Halpha emission lines, aiming at building a homogeneous sample that…

Discovery of six high-redshift quasars with the Lijiang 2.4m telescope and the Multiple Mirror Telescope

Xue-Bing Wu, Wen-Wen Zuo, Qian Yang +6

Quasars with redshifts greater than 4 are rare, and can be used to probe the structure and evolution of the early universe. Here we report the discovery of six new quasars with …

Contributions to the cross shock electric field at supercritical perpendicular shocks: Impact of the pickup ions

Zhongwei Yang, Desheng Han, Huigen Yang +4

A particle-in-cell code is used to examine contributions of the pickup ions (PIs) and the solar wind ions (SWs) to the cross shock electric field at the supercritical, perpendicula…

Metallicity and Quasar Outflows

Huiyuan Wang, Hongyan Zhou, Weimin Yuan +1

Correlations are investigated of the outflow strength of quasars, as measured by the blueshift and asymmetry index (BAI) of the CIV line (Wang et al. 2011), with intensities and ra…

Correlation Analysis of a Large Sample of Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies: Linking Central Engine and Host Properties

Dawei Xu, S. Komossa, Hongyan Zhou +5

We present a statistical study of a large, homogeneously analyzed sample of narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies, accompanied by a comparison sample of broad-line Seyfert 1 (BLS1)…
