The Origin of the Intrinsic Scatter in the Relation Between Black Hole Mass and Bulge Luminosity for Nearby Active Galaxies

Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho, Chien Y. Peng +4

We investigate the origin of the intrinsic scatter in the correlation between black hole mass (MBH) and bulge luminosity [L(bulge)] in a sample of 45 massive, local (z < 0.35) type…

HST STIS spectroscopy of the triple nucleus of M31: two nested disks in Keplerian rotation around a Supermassive Black Hole

Ralf Bender, John Kormendy, Gary Bower +12

We present HST spectroscopy of the nucleus of M31 obtained with STIS. Spectra taken around the CaT lines at 8500 see only the red giants in the double bright- ness peaks P1 and P2.…

Mapping the Kinematics of the Narrow-Line Region in the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151

V. Das, D. M. Crenshaw, J. B. Hutchings +6

Using The Hubble Space Telescope's Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph HST's STIS, observations of the OIII emission from the narrow-line region (NLR) of NGC 4151 were obtained an…

The Relationship Between Black Hole Mass and Velocity Dispersion in Seyfert 1 Galaxies

Charles H. Nelson, Richard F. Green, Gary Bower +2

Black hole masses in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are difficult to measure using conventional dynamical methods, but can be determined using the technique of reverberation mapping.…

Ionization Mechanisms in Jet-Dominated Seyferts: A Detailed Case Study

D. J. Rosario, M. Whittle, J. D. Silverman +2

For the past 10 years there has been an active debate over whether fast shocks play an important role in ionizing emission line regions in Seyfert galaxies. To investigate this cla…

Iron Emission in the z=6.4 Quasar SDSS J114816.64+525150.3

A. J. Barth, P. Martini, C. H. Nelson +1

We present near-infrared J and K-band spectra of the z = 6.4 quasar SDSS J114816.64+525150.3 obtained with the NIRSPEC spectrograph at the Keck-II telescope, covering the rest-fram…
