Monitoring AGNs with Hβ Asymmetry. II. Reverberation Mapping of Three Seyfert Galaxies Historically Displaying Hβ Profiles with Changing Asymmetry: Mrk 79, NGC 3227, and Mrk 841

Michael S. Brotherton, Pu Du, Ming Xiao +17

We report the results of reverberation mapping three bright Seyfert galaxies, Mrk 79, NGC 3227, and Mrk 841, from a campaign conducted from December 2016 to May 2017 with the Wyomi…

Evidence for Two Distinct Broad-Line Regions from Reverberation Mapping of PG 0026+129

Chen Hu, Sha-Sha Li, Wei-Jian Guo +17

We report on the results of a new spectroscopic monitoring campaign of the quasar PG 0026+129 at the Calar Alto Observatory 2.2m telescope from July 2017 to February 2020. Signific…

Supermassive black holes with high accretion rates in active galactic nuclei. XI. Accretion disk reverberation mapping of Mrk 142

Edward M. Cackett, Jonathan Gelbord, Yan-Rong Li +15

We performed an intensive accretion disk reverberation mapping campaign on the high accretion rate active galactic nucleus Mrk 142 in early 2019. Mrk 142 was monitored with the Nei…

On the relation between hard X-ray photon index versus accretion rate for super-Eddington accreting quasars

Jian Huang, Bin Luo, Pu Du +3

We investigate whether the hard X-ray photon index () versus accretion rate correlation for super-Eddington accreting quasars is different from that for sub-Eddington accreting…

Dynamical evidence of the sub-parsec counter-rotating disc for a close binary of supermassive black holes in the nucleus of NGC 1068

J. -M. Wang, Y. -Y. Songsheng, Y. -R. Li +2

It arises a puzzle in \NGC\, how to secularly maintain the counter-rotating disc from to pc unambiguously detected by recent ALMA observations of molecular gas. Upon fur…

Broad-line Region of the Quasar PG 2130+099 from a Two-Year Reverberation Mapping Campaign with High Cadence

Chen Hu, Yan-Rong Li, Pu Du +12

As one of the most interesting Seyfert 1 galaxies, PG 2130+099 has been the target of several reverberation mapping (RM) campaigns over the years. However, its measured broad H…
