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…
