The direction of rotation of supermassive black holes is unrelated to the direction of rotation of the host galaxy
Loren Gigi, C. Martin Gaskell
We compare the apparent directions of rotation in the plane of the sky of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and their host galaxies. The direction of rotation of the galaxy was inferre…

Hot, Photoionized X-ray Gas in Two Luminous Type 2 Quasars: Chandra-HST Evidence for a Wind-Driven Sequence
Anna Trindade Falcão, S. Kraemer, L. Feuillet +17
We present new Chandra/ACIS-S imaging spectroscopy of two luminous type 2 quasars, FIRST J120041.4+314745 (=0.116) and 2MASX J13003807+5454367 (=0.088), and compare their X-r…

Large discrepancies in error estimates for reverberation times derived from light curves of active galactic nuclei
C. Martin Gaskell
Light-travel-time delays provide one of the most powerful ways of learning about the structure and kinematics of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Estimating delays from observations…
