A Sample of Active Galactic Nuclei with Intermediate-mass Black Holes Extended to 0.6
Wen-Juan Liu, Luis C. Ho, Xiao-Bo Dong +3
We present a sample of 930 intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with black hole masses of M, unifor…
The Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: First Detection of Mid-Infrared Lags in Prototypical IMBHs in NGC 4395 and POX 52
Jingbo Sun, Hengxiao Guo, Wenwen Zuo +25
The search for robust evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is crucial for understanding black hole seeding process and the formation of supermassive black holes in the…
Probing the rest-frame wavelength dependence of quasar variability : Insights from the Zwicky Transient Facility Survey
P. Patel, P. Lira, P. Arévalo +3
Context: Quasar variability can potentially unlock crucial insights into the accretion process. Understanding how this variability is influenced by wavelength is crucial for valida…
First Detection of Radio Emission from the Intermediate Mass Black Hole in POX 52: Deep Multi-Band Observations with ATCA and VLA
Qi Yuan, Hengxiao Guo, Minfeng Gu +14
We present the first multi-band centimeter detection of POX 52, a nearby dwarf galaxy believed to habor a robust intermediate mass black hole (IMBH). We conducted the deep observat…
Demographics of black holes at 100 R scales: accretion flows, jets, and shadows
Dhanya G. Nair, Neil M. Nagar, Venkatessh Ramakrishnan +87
Using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), the gravitationally lensed rings around the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in Messier 87 (M87) and Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) have now been…
Optical Continuum Reverberation Mapping of a Candidate IMBH in a Nearby Seyfert 1 Galaxy
Wenwen Zuo, Hengxiao Guo, Jingbo Sun +25
To investigate the short-term variability and determine the size of the optical continuum emitting region of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), we carried out high-cadence, mul…
