Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XV. Reverberation Mapping of Mg II Emission Lines
Hua-Rui Bai, Pu Du, Chen Hu +25
As the 15th paper in a series reporting on a large reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of super-Eddington accreting massive black holes (SEAMBHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs),…
Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Measuring Geometric Distances and Black Hole Masses of Four Nearby Quasars
Yan-Rong Li, Jinyi Shangguan, Jian-Min Wang +35
The geometric distances of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are challenging to measure because of their exceptionally compact structure yet vast cosmic distances. A combination of spe…
A Composite Broad-Line Region in SDSS J1609+4902: a Double-Peaked Disk component and a Gaussian Component
Jiancheng Wu, Qingwen Wu, Chen Hu +6
The profiles of broad emission lines in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) provide critical insights into the geometry and kinematics of the broad-line region (BLR), which in turn influ…
Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XIV. Long-Duration High-Cadence Reverberation Mapping Results for 11 PG Quasars
Chen Hu, Zhu-Heng Yao, Yong-Jie Chen +20
We report the results of a long-duration high-cadence reverberation mapping campaign of a second batch of 11 PG quasars using the 2.2m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory. This…
Monitoring AGNs with H Asymmetry. V. Long-term Variation and Evolution of the Broad H Emission-Line Profiles
Feng-Na Fang, Pu Du, Michael S. Brotherton +40
The physical origins of the diverse emission-line asymmetries observed in the spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remain incompletely understood. Monitoring the temporal varia…
