The Black Hole Mass - Galaxy Luminosity Relationship for Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasars
S. Salviander, G. A. Shields, E. W. Bonning
We investigate the relationship between the mass of the central supermassive black hole, M_bh, and the host galaxy luminosity, L_gal, in a sample of quasars from the Sloan Digital…
Magnetic Field Amplification and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars
Xuhui Chen, Ritaban Chatterjee, Haocheng Zhang +10
We perform time-dependent, spatially-resolved simulations of blazar emission to evaluate several flaring scenarios related to magnetic-field amplification and enhanced particle acc…
A Time Resolved Study of the Broad Line Region in Blazar 3C 454.3
Jedidah C. Isler, C. Megan Urry, Paolo Coppi +6
We present multi-epoch optical observations of the blazar 3C 454.3 (z = 0.859) from 2008 August through 2011 December, using the SMARTS Consortium 1.5m+RCSpectrograph and 1.3m+ANDI…
The Contrasting Nature of Gamma-Ray/Optical Variability in the Blazar PKS 0208-512 During Successive Outbursts
Ritaban Chatterjee, G. Fossati, C. M. Urry +6
The Yale/SMARTS optical-near-IR monitoring program has followed the variations in emission of the Fermi-LAT monitored blazars in the southern sky with closely spaced observations s…
A Captured Runaway Black Hole in NGC 1277?
G. A. Shields, E. W. Bonning
Recent results indicate that the compact lenticular galaxy NGC 1277 in the Perseus Cluster contains a black hole of approximately 10 billion solar masses. This far exceeds the expe…
An Optical-Near-Infrared Outburst with No Accompanying Gamma-Rays in the Blazar PKS 0208-512
Ritaban Chatterjee, G. Fossati, C. M. Urry +6
We report the discovery of an anomalous flare in a bright blazar, namely, PKS 0208-512, one of the targets of the Yale/SMARTS optical-near-infrared (OIR) monitoring program of Ferm…
