The Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: Stable Optical Continuum Lags of an IMBH in the Dwarf Galaxy NGC 4395 Over Years

Yu Pan, Hengxiao Guo, Chenxu Liu +15

NGC 4395 is a nearby dwarf spiral galaxy hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN) powered by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH, --). Re…

One sightline, many systems: a FLASH discovery of HI towards scintillating quasar PKS 0405-385

E. F. Kerrison, H. Yoon, E. M. Sadler +15

We report the discovery of an intervening 21\,cm absorption line at z = 0.882 towards the z = 1.284 quasar PKS 0405-385, identified in the First Large Absorption Survey in HI (FLAS…

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…

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…

The Spectral Behaviour and Variability of Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies with Australia Telescope Compact Array Observations

Xi Shao, Philip G. Edwards, Jamie Stevens +3

We present multi-frequency radio data for a sample of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. We first focus on the sub-class of gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies, studying…

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…
