Central Masses and Broad-Line Region Sizes of Active Galactic Nuclei. II. A Homogeneous Analysis of a Large Reverberation-Mapping Database
B. M. Peterson, L. Ferrarese, K. M. Gilbert +9
We present improved black hole masses for 35 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) based on a complete and consistent reanalysis of broad emission-line reverberation-mapping data. From obj…
Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Calibration of the M-sigma Relationship for AGNs
Christopher A. Onken, Laura Ferrarese, David Merritt +5
We calibrate reverberation-based black hole masses in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by using the correlation between black hole mass, M, and bulge/spheroid stellar velocity dispers…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey II. Data Reduction Procedures
Andres Jordan, John P. Blakeslee, Eric W. Peng +7
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey is a large program to carry out multi-color imaging of 100 early-type members of the Virgo Cluster using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the H…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey III. Chandra and HST Observations of Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries and Globular Clusters in M87
Andres Jordan, Patrick Cote, Laura Ferrarese +7
The ACIS instrument on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory has been used to carry out the first systematic study of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in M87. We identify 174 X-ray po…
Observational evidence for a connection between SMBHs and dark matter haloes
Maarten Baes, Herwig Dejonghe, Pieter Buyle +2
We investigate the relation between circular velocity vc and bulge velocity dispersion sigma in spiral galaxies, based on literature data and new spectroscopic observations. We fin…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. I. Introduction to the Survey
Patrick Cote, John P. Blakeslee, Laura Ferrarese +7
The Virgo Cluster is the dominant mass concentration in the Local Supercluster and the largest collection of elliptical and lenticular galaxies in the nearby universe. In this pape…
