AGN Reverberation Mapping with LITMUS: Fundamental Limits on lag Recovery Rates
Hugh McDougall, Tamara M. Davis, Benjamin J. S. Pope +4
Reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei provides one of the most direct probes of the geometry and kinematics of the broad-line region by measuring time delays between cont…
Stacked Reverberation Mapping of High Redshift Quasars in DESI. I. Feasibility Analysis
Rahma Alfarsy, R. E. A. Canning, Eva-Maria Mueller +49
The broad line region of quasars has long been probed by reverberation mapping techniques that measure time lags between continuum and broad emission line variations. Stacked rever…
OzDES Reverberation Mapping Program: CIV lags from six years of data
A. Penton, H. McDougall, T. M. Davis +52
The paper reports 29 successful CIV reverberation time‑lag measurements for high‑redshift active galactic nuclei from the OzDES survey, derives black‑hole masses of 0.8–1.3 billion…
OzDES Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei: Final Data Release, Black-Hole Mass Results, & Scaling Relations
H. McDougall, T. M. Davis, Z. Yu +53
Over the last decade, the Australian Dark Energy (OzDES) collaboration has used Reverberation Mapping to measure the masses of high redshift supermassive black holes. Here we prese…
A comparison between Shapefit compression and Full-Modelling method with PyBird for DESI 2024 and beyond
Y. Lai, C. Howlett, M. Maus +40
DESI aims to provide one of the tightest constraints on cosmological parameters by analysing the clustering of more than thirty million galaxies. However, obtaining such constraint…
Constraining the phase shift of relativistic species in DESI BAOs
Abbé M. Whitford, Hugo Rivera-Morales, Cullan Howlett +36
In the early Universe, neutrinos decouple quickly from the primordial plasma and propagate without further interactions. The impact of free-streaming neutrinos is to create a tempo…
