Precision near-IR spectroscopy for understanding AGN physics and shed light on the H0 tension -- SHARP Science Book
M. Signorini, V. N. Bennert, E. Dalla Bontà +3
The persistent tension between early- and late-Universe measurements of the Hubble constant (H0) remains on of the most significant challenges in modern cosmology. The Spectroastro…
Can BLR line profile shape improve single-epoch black hole mass estimates?
Lizvette Villafaña, Tommaso Treu, Shu Wang +7
The virial coefficient (), which is meant to encapsulate broad-line region (BLR) geometry and kinematics, remains one of the largest sources of systematic uncertainty in black h…
Dynamical Modeling of the Broad-Line Region with High-Mass Active Galactic Nuclei and Constraints on the Virial Factor
Shu Wang, Jong-Hak Woo, Lizvette Villafaña +2
We present the results of broad-line region (BLR) dynamical modeling for eight high-mass active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the Seoul National University AGN Monitoring Project, by…
The Host Galaxies of Active Galactic Nuclei with Direct Black Hole Mass Measurements
Vardha N. Bennert, Nico Winkel, Tommaso Treu +13
Reverberation mapping (RM) determines the mass of black holes (BH) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by resolving the BH gravitational sphere of influence in the time domain. Recent…
Seoul National University AGN Monitoring Project. V. Velocity-resolved H-beta Reverberation Mapping and Evidence of Kinematics Evolution
Shu Wang, Jong-Hak Woo, Aaron J. Barth +13
We present velocity-resolved reverberation lags of H-beta for 20 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the Seoul National University AGN Monitoring Project. We detect unambiguous velo…
What Does the Virial Coefficient of the \Hb Broad-Line Region Depend On?
Lizvette Villafaña, Peter R. Williams, Tommaso Treu +37
We combine our dynamical modeling black hole mass measurements from the Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2016 sample with measured cross-correlation time lags and line widths to recover…
TDCOSMO. XII. Improved Hubble constant measurement from lensing time delays using spatially resolved stellar kinematics of the lens galaxy
Anowar J. Shajib, Pritom Mozumdar, Geoff C. -F. Chen +12
Strong-lensing time delays enable measurement of the Hubble constant () independently of other traditional methods. The main limitation to the precision of time-delay cosmog…
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2016: Dynamical Modeling of Velocity-Resolved H\b{eta} Lags in Luminous Seyfert Galaxies
Lizvette Villafaña, Peter R. Williams, Tommaso Treu +62
We have modeled the velocity-resolved reverberation response of the H\b{eta} broad emission line in nine Seyfert 1 galaxies from the Lick Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) Monitioring…
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2016: Velocity-Resolved Hβ Lags in Luminous Seyfert Galaxies
Vivian U, Aaron J. Barth, H. Alexander Vogler +61
We carried out spectroscopic monitoring of 21 low-redshift Seyfert 1 galaxies using the Kast double spectrograph on the 3-m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory from April 2016 to M…
A Search for Technosignatures Around 31 Sun-like Stars with the Green Bank Telescope at 1.15-1.73 GHz
Jean-Luc Margot, Pavlo Pinchuk, Robert Geil +37
We conducted a search for technosignatures in April of 2018 and 2019 with the L-band receiver (1.15-1.73 GHz) of the 100 m diameter Green Bank Telescope. These observations focused…
