The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: A Kinematically Variable Broad-Line Region and Consequences for Masses of Luminous Quasars

Logan B. Fries, Jonathan R. Trump, Keith Horne +27

We present a velocity-resolved reverberation mapping analysis of the hypervariable quasar RM160 (SDSS J141041.25+531849.0) at z = 0.359 with 153 spectroscopic epochs of data repres…

Understanding the Broad-line Region of Active Galactic Nuclei with Photoionization. I. the Moderate-Accretion Regime

Qiaoya Wu, Yue Shen, Hengxiao Guo +9

Over three decades of reverberation mapping (RM) studies on local broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have measured reliable black-hole (BH) masses for AGNs. These RM…

The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: CIV BAL Acceleration in the Quasar SBS 1408+544

Robert Wheatley, Catherine J. Grier, Patrick B. Hall +20

We present the results of an investigation of a highly variable CIV broad absorption-line feature in the quasar SBS 1408+544 (z=2.337) that shows a significant shift in velocity ov…

Prior-Informed AGN-Host Spectral Decomposition Using PyQSOFit

Wenke Ren, Hengxiao Guo, Yue Shen +4

We introduce an improved method for decomposing the emission of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their host galaxies using templates from principal component analysis (PCA). This a…

Exploring Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V: First Year Results

Grisha Zeltyn, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael Eracleous +32

"Changing-look" active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) challenge our basic ideas about the physics of accretion flows and circumnuclear gas around supermassive black holes. Using first-y…
