On Reverberation Mapping Lag Uncertainties
Zhefu Yu, C. S. Kochanek, B. M. Peterson +5
We broadly explore the effects of systematic errors on reverberation mapping lag uncertainty estimates from {\tt JAVELIN} and the interpolated cross-correlation function (ICCF) met…

Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes from Continuum Reverberation Mapping in the DES Standard Star Fields
Zhefu Yu, Paul Martini, T. M. Davis +72
Measurements of the physical properties of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei are important for better understanding the growth and evolution of supermassive black holes. We…
