Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei
B. M. Peterson, K. Horne
Reverberation mapping is a proven technique that is used to measure the size of the broad emission-line region and central black hole mass in active galactic nuclei. More ambitious…

Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Calibration of the M-sigma Relationship for AGNs
Christopher A. Onken, Laura Ferrarese, David Merritt +5
We calibrate reverberation-based black hole masses in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by using the correlation between black hole mass, M, and bulge/spheroid stellar velocity dispers…

Black Hole Masses from Reverberation Measurements
Bradley M. Peterson
We have reanalyzed in a consistent way existing reverberation data for 35 AGNs for the purpose of refining the black hole masses derived from these data. We find that the precision…
