Test of the Formation mechanism of the Broad Line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei
Bozena Czerny, Pu Du, Jian-Min Wang +1
The origin of the Broad Line Region (BLR) in active galaxies remains unknown. It seems to be related to the underlying accretion disk but an efficient mechanism is required to rise…
Improving the Flux Calibration in Reverberation Mapping by Spectral Fitting: Application to the Seyfert Galaxy MCG--6-30-15
Chen Hu, Jian-Min Wang, Luis C. Ho +4
We propose a method for the flux calibration of reverberation mapping spectra based on accurate measurement of [O III] emission by spectral fitting. The method can achieve…
Reverberation Mapping of the Broad-line Region in NGC 5548: Evidence for Radiation Pressure?
Kai-Xing Lu, Pu Du, Chen Hu +8
NGC 5548 is the best-observed reverberation-mapped active galactic nucleus with long-term, intensive monitoring. Here we report results from a new observational campaign between Ja…
Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. V. A New Size-Luminosity Scaling Relation for the Broad-Line Region
Pu Du, Kai-Xing Lu, Zhi-Xiang Zhang +12
This paper reports results of the third-year campaign of monitoring super-Eddington accreting massive black holes (SEAMBHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) between 2014-2015. Ten…
Spectroscopic Indication for a Centi-parsec Supermassive Black Hole Binary in the Galactic Center of NGC 5548
Yan-Rong Li, Jian-Min Wang, Luis C. Ho +8
As a natural consequence of cosmological hierarchical structure formation, sub-parsec supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) should be common in galaxies but thus far have elude…
Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. VI. Velocity-resolved Reverberation Mapping of H Line
Pu Du, Kai-Xing Lu, Chen Hu +9
In the sixth of the series of papers reporting on a large reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with high accretion rates, we present velocity-resolv…
