The unusually red delay spectrum of the low-mass black hole AGN NGC\,4051 as revealed by intensive continuum reverberation mapping with the Las Cumbres Observatory

Marcin Marculewicz, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban, Keith Horne +12

We present a two-year optical reverberation mapping campaign of NGC 4051, an active galactic nucleus (AGN) hosting a low-mass black hole (), using daily observ…

First reverberation mapping of a Bowen fluorescence line

Martin W. Ochmann, Edward M. Cackett, Lukas Diehl +3

Reverberation mapping (RM) is a powerful tool to determine the extent, structure, and kinematics of the broad-line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGN). So far, RM of the B…

A Phenomenological Study of the Accretion Disk in the Super-Eddington AGN I Zw 1

Farin Drewes, Roberta Vieliute, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban +11

The structure of the accretion disk in AGN is still an unsolved question, especially how it may change with Eddington ratio. Here we examine the accretion disk in the super-Eddingt…

AGN STORM 2. XI. Spectroscopic reverberation mapping of the hot dust in Mrk 817

Hermine Landt, Benjamin D. Boizelle, Michael S. Brotherton +41

The AGN Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping 2 (STORM 2) campaign targeted Mrk 817 with intensive multi-wavelength monitoring and found its soft X-ray emission to be s…

The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: Light Echoes of the Coronal Line Region in a Luminous Quasar

Theodore B. Smith, Logan B. Fries, Jonathan R. Trump +19

We present a reverberation mapping analysis of the coronal line [Ne V]3427 emitting region of the quasar COS168 (SDSS J095910.30+020732.2). [Ne V]3427 is known as one of th…
