A note on black hole masses estimated by the second moment in Narrow Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies

Wei-Hao Bian, Chen Hu, Qiu-Sheng Gu +1

The second moment of the H emission line is calculated for 329 narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), which is used to calcula…

A Systematic Analysis of Fe II Emission in Quasars: Evidence for Inflow to the Central Black Hole

Chen Hu, Jian-Min Wang, Luis C. Ho +4

Broad Fe II emission is a prominent feature of the optical and ultraviolet spectra of quasars. We report on a systematical investigation of optical Fe II emission in a large sample…

The radio luminosity, black hole mass and Eddington ratio for quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Wei-Hao. Bian, Yan-Mei. Chen, Chen. Hu +2

We investigate the $\mbh- σ_*$ relation for radio-loud quasars with redshift in Data Release 3 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The sample consists of 3772 quasars…

Active Galactic Nuclei with Double-Peaked Balmer Lines: I. Black Hole Masses and the Eddington ratios

Wei-Hao Bian, Yan-Mei Chen, Qu-Sheng Gu +1

Using the stellar population synthesis, we model the stellar contribution for a sample of 110 double-peaked broad-lines AGNs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The stellar v…

The accretion ratios in Seyfert 2 galaxies with and without hidden broad-line regions

W. Bian, Q. Gu

Using a large sample of 90 Seyfert 2 galaxies (Sy2s) with spectropolarimetric observations, we tested the suggestion that the presence of hidden broad-line regions (HBLRs) in Sy2s…
