The Population of Type~1 Active Galactic Nuclei in Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. I. Profile-dependent Measurements of the Low-redshift Sample
Zhu-Heng Yao, Wei-Jian Guo, Shuo Zhai +8
We present a spectral analysis of a large sample of low-redshift type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected from the first data release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrume…
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),…
Detection of unexpected leading delays in broad Hβ line reverberations in the quasar PHL 1092
Jian-Min Wang, Chen Hu, Yong-Jie Chen +12
Delayed reverberations of broad emission lines in response to optical continuum variations have been widely observed in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). They serve as a powerful tool…
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…
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 $…
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…
Testing Super-Eddington Accretion onto a Supermassive Black Hole: Reverberation Mapping of PG 1119+120
Fergus R. Donnan, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban, Keith Horne +11
We measure the black hole mass and investigate the accretion flow around the local () quasar PG 1119+120. Spectroscopic monitoring with Calar Alto provides H lags and…
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…
