First Results from the Lick AGN Monitoring Project: The Mass of the Black Hole in Arp 151
Misty C. Bentz, Jonelle L. Walsh, Aaron J. Barth +24
We have recently completed a 64-night spectroscopic monitoring campaign at the Lick Observatory 3-m Shane telescope with the aim of measuring the masses of the black holes in 13 ne…
Black Holes in Pseudobulges and Spheroidals: A Change in the Black Hole-Bulge Scaling Relations at Low Mass
Jenny E. Greene, Luis C. Ho, Aaron J. Barth
We investigate the relationship between black hole mass and host galaxy properties for active galaxies with the lowest black hole masses currently known in galaxy nuclei. Hubble Sp…
Dynamical Constraints on The Masses of the Nuclear Star Cluster and Black Hole in the Late-Type Spiral Galaxy NGC 3621
A. J. Barth, L. E. Strigari, M. C. Bentz +2
NGC 3621 is a late-type (Sd) spiral galaxy with an active nucleus, previously detected through mid-infrared [Ne V] line emission. Archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images revea…
Hubble Space Telescope Spectroscopic Observations of the Narrow-Line Region in Nearby Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei
Jonelle L. Walsh, Aaron J. Barth, Luis C. Ho +5
(Abridged) We present STIS observations of 14 nearby low-luminosity active galactic nuclei, including 13 LINERs and 1 Seyfert, taken at multiple parallel slit positions centered on…
Low-Mass Seyfert 2 Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
A. J. Barth, J. E. Greene, L. C. Ho
(Abridged) We describe a sample of low-mass Seyfert 2 galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, having a median absolute magnitude of M_g = -19.0 mag. These galaxies are…
An Offset Seyfert 2 Nucleus in the Minor Merger System NGC 3341
A. J. Barth, M. C. Bentz, J. E. Greene +1
We present the discovery of a triplet of emission-line nuclei in the disturbed disk galaxy NGC 3341, based on archival data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and new observations f…
