Resolving the BLR in NGC 3783

P. Lira, M. Kishimoto, A. Robinson +5

We present results from very high signal-to-noise spectropolarimetric observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783. Position Angle (PA) changes across the Balmer lines show that t…

Host dynamics and origin of Palomar-Green QSOs

K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +7

We present host-galaxy velocity dispersions of 12 local (mainly Palomar-Green) quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) measured directly from the stellar CO absorption features in the H band.…

The Mass of the Black Hole in the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4593 from Reverberation Mapping

Kelly D. Denney, Misty C. Bentz, Bradley M. Peterson +15

We present new observations leading to an improved black hole mass estimate for the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593 as part of a reverberation-mapping campaign conducted at the MDM Obser…

Simultaneous Ultraviolet and X-ray Observations of the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151. II. Physical Conditions in the UV Absorbers

S. B. Kraemer, D. M. Crenshaw, J. R. Gabel +8

We present a detailed analysis of the intrinsic absorption in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151 using UV spectra from the HST/STIS and FUSE, obtained 2002 May as part of a set of conte…

A Reverberation-Based Mass for the Central Black Hole in NGC 4151

Misty C. Bentz, Kelly D. Denney, Edward M. Cackett +15

We have undertaken a new ground-based monitoring campaign to improve the estimates of the mass of the central black hole in NGC 4151. We measure the lag time of the broad H beta li…

Multiwavelength Monitoring of the Dwarf Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4395. III. Optical Variability and X-ray/UV/Optical Correlations

Louis-Benoit Desroches, Alexei V. Filippenko, Shai Kaspi +11

We present optical observations of the low-luminosity Seyfert 1 nucleus of NGC 4395, as part of a multiwavelength reverberation-mapping program. Observations were carried out over…
