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…
A note on periodicity of long-term variations of optical continuum in active galactic nuclei
Kai-Xing Lu, Yan-Rong Li, Shao-Lan Bi +1
Graham et al. found a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and quasars from the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) that have long-term periodic variations in optical con…
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…
