The Black Hole Mass-Bulge Luminosity Relationship for Active Galactic Nuclei from Reverberation Mapping and Hubble Space Telescope Imaging
Misty C. Bentz, Bradley M. Peterson, Richard W. Pogge +1
We investigate the relationship between black hole mass and bulge luminosity for AGNs with reverberation-based black hole mass measurements and bulge luminosities from two-dimensio…
The Radius-Luminosity Relationship for Active Galactic Nuclei: The Effect of Host-Galaxy Starlight on Luminosity Measurements II. The Full Sample of Reverberation-Mapped AGNs
Misty C. Bentz, Bradley M. Peterson, Hagai Netzer +2
We present high-resolution HST images of all 35 AGNs with optical reverberation-mapping results, which we have modeled to create a nucleus-free image of each AGN host galaxy. From…
Systematic Uncertainties in Black Hole Masses Determined from Single Epoch Spectra
Kelly D. Denney, Bradley M. Peterson, Matthias Dietrich +2
We explore the nature of systematic errors that can arise in measurement of black hole masses from single-epoch spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by utilizing the many epoch…
First Stellar Velocity Dispersion Measurement of a Luminous Quasar Host with Gemini North Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
Linda C. Watson, Paul Martini, Kalliopi M. Dasyra +5
We present the first use of the Gemini North laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS AO) system and an integral field unit (IFU) to measure the stellar velocity dispersion of the hos…
The Observatory for Multi-Epoch Gravitational Lens Astrophysics (OMEGA)
Leonidas A Moustakas, Adam J Bolton, Jeffrey T Booth +15
(abridged) The Observatory for Multi-Epoch Gravitational Lens Astrophysics (OMEGA) is a mission concept for a 1.5-m near-UV through near-IR space observatory that will be dedicated…
On the size of the Fe II emitting region in the AGN Akn 120
Charles A. Kuehn, Jack A. Baldwin, Bradley M. Peterson +1
We present a reverberation analysis of the strong, variable optical Fe II emission bands in the spectrum of Akn 120, a low-redshift AGN which is one of the best candidates for such…
