Modeling reverberation mapping data II: dynamical modeling of the Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2008 dataset
Anna Pancoast, Brendon J. Brewer, Tommaso Treu +4
We present dynamical modeling of the broad line region (BLR) for a sample of five Seyfert 1 galaxies using reverberation mapping data taken by the Lick AGN Monitoring Project in 20…
Scattered Emission from z~1 Galactic Outflows
Crystal L. Martin, Alice E. Shapley, Alison L. Coil +3
Mapping Mg II resonance emission scattered by galactic winds offers a means to determine the spatial extent and density of the warm outflow. Using Keck/LRIS spectroscopy, we have r…
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2011: Fe II Reverberation from the Outer Broad-Line Region
Aaron J. Barth, Anna Pancoast, Vardha N. Bennert +26
The prominent broad Fe II emission blends in the spectra of active galactic nuclei have been shown to vary in response to continuum variations, but past attempts to measure the rev…
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2011: Dynamical Modeling of the Broad Line Region in Mrk 50
Anna Pancoast, Brendon J. Brewer, Tommaso Treu +33
We present dynamical modeling of the broad line region (BLR) in the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 50 using reverberation mapping data taken as part of the Lick AGN Monitoring Project (LAMP)…
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2011: Reverberation Mapping of Markarian 50
A. J. Barth, A. Pancoast, S. J. Thorman +46
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2011 observing campaign was carried out over the course of 11 weeks in Spring 2011. Here we present the first results from this program, a measureme…
The Galaxy Zoo survey for giant AGN-ionized clouds: past and present black-hole accretion events
William C. Keel, S. Drew Chojnowski, Vardha N. Bennert +8
Some active galactic nuclei (AGN) are surrounded by extended emission-line regions (EELRs), which trace both the illumination pattern of escaping radiation and its history over the…
The Mass of the Black Hole in Arp 151 from Bayesian Modeling of Reverberation Mapping Data
Brendon J. Brewer, Tommaso Treu, Anna Pancoast +7
Supermassive black holes are believed to be ubiquitous at the centers of galaxies. Measuring their masses is extremely challenging yet essential for understanding their role in the…
Broad-Line Reverberation in the Kepler-Field Seyfert Galaxy Zw 229-015
A. J. Barth, M. L. Nguyen, M. A. Malkan +45
The Seyfert 1 galaxy Zw 229-015 is among the brightest active galaxies being monitored by the Kepler mission. In order to determine the black hole mass in Zw 229-015 from H-beta re…
Geometric and Dynamical Models of Reverberation Mapping Data
Anna Pancoast, Brendon J. Brewer, Tommaso Treu
We present a general method to analyze reverberation mapping data that provides both estimates for the black hole mass and for the geometry and dynamics of the broad line region (B…
