The Cepheid Distance to the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4051

Wenlong Yuan, Lucas M. Macri, Bradley M. Peterson +15

We derive a distance of ~Mpc (~mag) to the archetypal narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4051 based on Cepheid Period--Luminosity relations and new…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Estimating Masses of Black Holes in Quasars with Single-Epoch Spectroscopy

Elena Dalla Bonta`, Bradley M. Peterson, Misty C. Bentz +19

It is well known that reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei (AGN) reveals a relationship between AGN luminosity and the size of the broad-line region, and that use of thi…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: How Broad Emission Line Widths Change When Luminosity Changes

Shu Wang, Yue Shen, Linhua Jiang +13

Quasar broad emission lines are largely powered by photoionization from the accretion continuum. Increased central luminosity will enhance line emissivity in more distant clouds, l…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. IX. Velocity-Delay Maps for Broad Emission Lines in NGC 5548

Keith Horne, G. De Rosa, B. M. Peterson +155

We report velocity-delay maps for prominent broad emission lines, Ly_alpha, CIV, HeII and H_beta, in the spectrum of NGC5548. The emission-line responses inhabit the interior of a…
