Correlated variability in the blazar 3C 454.3

E. W. Bonning, C. Bailyn, C. M. Urry +7

The blazar 3C 454.3 was revealed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to be in an exceptionally high flux state in July 2008. Accordingly, we performed a multi-wavelength monitor…

Comment on the Black Hole Recoil Candidate Quasar SDSS J092712.65+294344.0

G. A. Shields, E. W. Bonning, S. Salviander

SDSS J092712.65+294344.0 has been proposed as a candidate for a supermassive black hole (~10^8.8 solar masses) ejected at high speed from the host galactic nucleus by gravitational…

Powerful flares from recoiling black holes in quasars

G. A. Shields, E. W. Bonning

Mergers of spinning black holes can give recoil velocities from gravitational radiation up to several thousand km/s. A recoiling supermassive black hole in an AGN retains the inner…

The Black Hole Mass - Galaxy Bulge Relationship for QSOs in the SDSS DR3

S. Salviander, G. A. Shields, K. Gebhardt +1

We investigate the relationship between black hole mass and host galaxy velocity dispersion for QSOs in Data Release 3 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We derive black hole mass fr…
