The Structure of the Broad Line Region in AGN: I. Reconstructed Velocity-Delay Maps

C. J. Grier, B. M. Peterson, Keith Horne +38

We present velocity-resolved reverberation results for five active galactic nuclei. We recovered velocity-delay maps using the maximum-entropy method for four objects: Mrk 335, Mrk…

Reverberation Mapping Results for Five Seyfert 1 Galaxies

C. J. Grier, B. M. Peterson, R. W. Pogge +40

We present the results from a detailed analysis of photometric and spectrophotometric data on five Seyfert 1 galaxies observed as a part of a recent reverberation mapping program.…

A Reverberation Lag for the High-Ionization Component of the Broad Line Region in the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Mrk 335

C. J. Grier, B. M. Peterson, R. W. Pogge +37

We present the first results from a detailed analysis of photometric and spectrophotometric data on the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 335, collected over a 120-day span in the f…

Variability and stability in blazar jets on time scales of years: Optical polarization monitoring of OJ287 in 2005-2009

C. Villforth, K. Nilsson, J. Heidt +45

(Abridged) OJ287 is a BL Lac object that has shown double-peaked bursts at regular intervals of ~12 yr during the last ~40 yr. We analyse optical photopolarimetric monitoring data…

The Lifetime of FRIIs in Groups and Clusters: Implications for Radio-Mode Feedback

Jonathan C. Bird, Paul Martini, Christian R. Kaiser

We determine the maximum lifetime t_max of 52 FRII radio sources found in 26 central group galaxies from cross correlation of the Berlind SDSS group catalog with the VLA FIRST surv…
