The host galaxies of FeLoBAL quasars at z0.9 are not dominated by recent major mergers
C. Villforth, H. Herbst, F. Hamann +4
Theoretical models have suggested an evolutionary model for quasars, in which most of luminous quasars are triggered by major mergers. It is also postulated that reddening as well…
The First Swift Intensive AGN Accretion Disk Reverberation Mapping Survey
R. Edelson, J. Gelbord, E. Cackett +32
Swift intensive accretion disk reverberation mapping of four AGN yielded light curves sampled 200-350 times in 0.3-10 keV X-ray and six UV/optical bands. Uniform reduction an…
Long-term optical monitoring of TeV emitting Blazars
K. Nilsson, E. Lindfors, L. O. Takalo +17
We present 10 years of R-band monitoring data of 31 northern blazars which were either detected at very high energy (VHE) gamma rays or listed as potential VHE gamma-ray emitters.…
Velocity-resolved reverberation mapping of five bright Seyfert 1 galaxies
G. De Rosa, M. M. Fausnaugh, C. J. Grier +99
We present the first results from a reverberation-mapping campaign undertaken during the first half of 2012, with additional data on one AGN (NGC 3227) from a 2014 campaign. Our ma…
A simple non-parametric method for resolving merged doublet lines: Insights into complex kinematics and outflows
Carolin Villforth, Tom L. Underwood, Mark Tolson +1
Doublet line emission and absorption is common in astronomical sources (e.g. [OIII], [OII], NaD, MgII). In many cases, complex kinematics in the emitting source can cause the doubl…
Continuum Reverberation Mapping of the Accretion Disks in Two Seyfert 1 Galaxies
M. M. Fausnaugh, D. A. Starkey, Keith Horne +69
We present optical continuum lags for two Seyfert 1 galaxies, MCG+08-11-011 and NGC 2617, using monitoring data from a reverberation mapping campaign carried out in 2014. Our light…
