Using Megamaser Disks to Probe Black Hole Accretion
Jenny E. Greene, Anil Seth, Mark den Brok +7
We examine the alignment between H_2O megamaser disks on sub-pc scales with circumnuclear disks and bars on <500 pc scales observed with HST/WFC3. The HST imaging reveals young sta…
The Megamaser Cosmology Project: IV. A Direct Measurement of the Hubble Constant from UGC 3789
M. J. Reid, J. A. Braatz, J. J. Condon +4
In Papers I and II from the Megamaser Cosmology Project (MCP), we reported initial observations of water masers in an accretion disk of a supermassive black hole at the center of t…
The Megamaser Cosmology Project. V. An Angular Diameter Distance to NGC 6264 at 140 Mpc
Chengyu Kuo, James A. Braatz, Mark J. Reid +4
We present the direct measurement of the Hubble constant, yielding the direct measurement of the angular-diameter distance to NGC 6264 using the HO megamaser technique. Our m…
Mrk 1419 - a new distance determination
C. M. Violette Impellizzeri, James A. Braatz, Cheng-Yu Kuo +4
Water vapor megamasers from the center of active galaxies provide a powerful tool to trace accretion disks at sub-parsec resolution and, through an entirely geometrical method, mea…
Cosmology and the Hubble Constant: On the Megamaser Cosmology Project (MCP)
C. Henkel, J. A. Braatz, M. J. Reid +4
The Hubble constant Ho describes not only the expansion of local space at redshift z ~ 0, but is also a fundamental parameter determining the evolution of the universe. Recent meas…
CO(1-0) in z>2 Quasar Host Galaxies: No Evidence for Extended Molecular Gas Reservoirs
Dominik A. Riechers, Christopher L. Carilli, Ronald J. Maddalena +8
We report the detection of CO(1-0) emission in the strongly lensed high-redshift quasars IRAS F10214+4724 (z=2.286), the Cloverleaf (z=2.558), RX J0911+0551 (z=2.796), SMM J04135+1…
