Reverberation Mapping of Two Variable Active Galactic Nuclei: Probing the Distinct Characteristics of the Inner and Outer Broad-line Regions
Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li, J. M. Bai +8
Current reverberation mapping (RM) studies primarily focus on single emission lines, particularly the \hb\ line, which may not fully reveal the geometry and kinematic properties of…
A Short-lived Rejuvenation during the Decades-long Changing-look Transition in the Nucleus of Mrk 1018
Kai-Xing Lu, Yan-Rong Li, Qingwen Wu +13
Changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs), characterized by emerging or disappearing of broad lines accompanied with extreme continuum flux variability, have drawn much attent…
Velocity-resolved Reverberation Mapping of Changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus NGC 4151 during Outburst Stage. II. Four Season Observation Results
Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li, J. M. Bai +7
We present the results of a four-year velocity-resolved reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of the changing-look active galactic nucleus (CL-AGN) NGC 4151 during its outburst phase…
Broad-line Region of the Quasar PG 2130+099. II. Doubling the Size Over Four Years?
Zhu-Heng Yao, Sen Yang, Wei-Jian Guo +16
Over the past three decades, multiple reverberation mapping (RM) campaigns conducted for the quasar PG 2130+099 have exhibited inconsistent findings with time delays ranging from $…
Velocity-Resolved Ionization Mapping of Broad Line Region. I. Insights into Diverse Geometry and Kinematics
Sha-Sha Li, Hai-Cheng Feng, H. T. Liu +6
Broad emission lines of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) originate from the broad-line region (BLR), consisting of dense gas clouds in orbit around an accreting supermassive black hol…
Unprecedented Continuum Time Delay Variation Phenomenon in an Active Supermassive Black Hole
Shuying Zhou, Mouyuan Sun, Hai-Cheng Feng +12
Resolving the accretion disks and broad line regions (BLRs) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can probe the physics behind supermassive black holes (SMBHs) fueling and weigh SMBHs.…
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…
Morpho-Photometric Classification of KiDS DR5 Sources Based on Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Star-Quasar-Galaxy Catalog
Hai-Cheng Feng, Rui Li, Nicola R. Napolitano +14
We present a novel multimodal neural network (MNN) for classifying astronomical sources in multiband ground-based observations, from optical to near infrared, to separate sources i…
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…
Quasar winds caught on acceleration and deceleration
Weimin Yi, P. B. Hall, Zunlin Yuan +5
We present an observational study of wind acceleration based on four low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasars (J0136, J1238, J1259, J1344). J0136 and J1344 (group-1) ar…
Correcting the Contamination of Second-order Spectra: Improving Hα Measurements in Reverberation Mapping Campaigns
Wen-Zhe Xi, Kai-Xing Lu, Hai-Cheng Feng +5
Long-term spectroscopic monitoring campaigns on active galactic nuclei (AGNs) provide a wealth of information about its interior structure and kinematics. However, a number of the…
Measuring the Virial Factor in SDSS DR7 AGNs with Redshifted H and H Broad Emission Lines
H. T. Liu, Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li +2
Under the hypothesis of gravitational redshift induced by the central supermassive black hole, and based on line widths and shifts of redward shifted H and H broad emission l…
