AGN STORM 2. XII. Ground-Based Optical Photometry and Lag Measurements of Mrk 817
John W. Montano, Aaron J. Barth, Keith Horne +40
We present the ground-based imaging campaign and light curves of Markarian 817 as part of the multiwavelength monitoring program AGN STORM\,2. Observations were carried out over 1.…
Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XV. Reverberation Mapping of Mg II Emission Lines
Hua-Rui Bai, Pu Du, Chen Hu +25
As the 15th paper in a series reporting on a large reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of super-Eddington accreting massive black holes (SEAMBHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs),…
Little red dots as embryos of active galactic nuclei
Jian-Min Wang, Yi-Lin Wang, Yong-Jie Chen +7
As an unprecedented large population in the early universe, the JWST-discovered little red dots (LRDs) have garnered much attention for formation of massive black holes and galaxie…
Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XIV. Long-Duration High-Cadence Reverberation Mapping Results for 11 PG Quasars
Chen Hu, Zhu-Heng Yao, Yong-Jie Chen +20
We report the results of a long-duration high-cadence reverberation mapping campaign of a second batch of 11 PG quasars using the 2.2m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory. This…
Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Measuring Geometric Distances and Black Hole Masses of Four Nearby Quasars
Yan-Rong Li, Jinyi Shangguan, Jian-Min Wang +35
The geometric distances of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are challenging to measure because of their exceptionally compact structure yet vast cosmic distances. A combination of spe…
Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping (SARM) of Active Galactic Nuclei. I. The H Broad-line Region Structure and Black Hole Mass of Five Quasars
Yan-Rong Li, Chen Hu, Zhu-Heng Yao +18
We conduct a reverberation mapping (RM) campaign to spectroscopically monitor a sample of selected bright active galactic nuclei with large anticipated broad-line region (BLR) size…
Monitoring AGNs with H Asymmetry. IV. First Reverberation Mapping Results of 14 AGNs
T. E. Zastrocky, Michael S. Brotherton, Pu Du +41
We report first-time reverberation mapping results for 14 AGNs from the ongoing Monitoring AGNs with H Asymmetry campaign (MAHA). These results utilize optical spectra obtained…
Star Formation in Self-gravitating Disks in Active Galactic Nuclei. III. Efficient Production of Iron and Infrared Spectral Energy Distributions
J. -M. Wang, S., Zhai +7
Strong iron lines are a common feature of the optical spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and quasars from to the local Universe, and [Fe/Mg] ratios do not show co…
Broad-line region in NGC 4151 monitored by two decades of reverberation mapping campaigns. I. Evolution of structure and kinematics
Yong-Jie Chen, Dong-Wei Bao, Shuo Zhai +33
We report the results of long-term reverberation mapping (RM) campaigns of the nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN) NGC 4151, spanning from 1994 to 2022, based on archived observati…
Monitoring AGNs with H Asymmetry. III. Long-term Reverberation Mapping Results of 15 Palomar-Green Quasars
Dong-Wei Bao, Michael S. Brotherton, Pu Du +42
In this third paper of the series reporting on the reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of active galactic nuclei with asymmetric H emission-line profiles, we present results for…
Searching for quasar candidates with periodic variations from the Zwicky Transient Facility: results and implications
Yong-Jie Chen, Shuo Zhai, Jun-Rong Liu +7
We conduct a systematic search for quasars with periodic variations from the archival photometric data of the Zwicky Transient Facility by cross-matching with the quasar catalogs o…
