Towards a Comprehensive Understanding of Planetary Systems through Population-Level, Large-Scale Surveys
Francisco J. Pozuelos, Pedro J. Amado, Jesús Aceituno +13
Over the past three decades, exoplanet research has delivered an extensive census of planets spanning a wide range of masses, sizes, and orbital configurations. Despite this progre…
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…
B2 1308+326: a changing-look blazar or not?
Ashwani Pandey, Chen Hu, Jian-Min Wang +6
In our previous study, we identified a shift in the synchrotron peak frequency of the blazar B2 1308326 from 10 Hz to 10 Hz during a flare, suggesting it could…
