On the Scatter in the Radius - Luminosity Relationship for Active Galactic Nuclei
E. Kilerci Eser, M. Vestergaard, B. M. Peterson +2
We investigate and quantify the observed scatter in the empirical relationship between the broad line region size R and the luminosity of the active galactic nucleus (AGN), in orde…
The AGN Black Hole Mass Database
Misty C. Bentz, Sarah Katz
The AGN Black Hole Mass Database is a compilation of all published spectroscopic reverberation-mapping studies of active galaxies. We have created a public web interface, where use…
The Mass of the Central Black Hole in the Nearby Seyfert Galaxy NGC5273
Misty C. Bentz, Daniel Horenstein, Craig Bazhaw +9
We present the results of a reverberation-mapping program targeting NGC5273, a nearby early-type galaxy with a broad-lined active galactic nucleus. Over the course of the monitorin…
Reverberation Mapping of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 7469
B. M. Peterson, C. J. Grier, Keith Horne +43
A large reverberation mapping study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469 has yielded emission-line lags for Hbeta 4861 and He II 4686 and a central black hole mass measurement of about…
The Black Hole Mass of NGC 4151. II. Stellar Dynamical Measurement from Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectroscopy
Christopher A. Onken, Monica Valluri, Jonathan S. Brown +8
We present a revised measurement of the mass of the central black hole (Mbh) in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151. The new stellar dynamical mass measurement is derived by applying an…
AGN Type-casting: Mrk 590 No Longer Fits the Role
K. D. Denney, G. De Rosa, K. Croxall +9
We present multi-wavelength observations that trace more than 40 years in the life of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) in Mrk 590, traditionally known as a classic Seyfert 1 galax…
