The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Insights on Maximizing Efficiency in Lag Measurements and Black-Hole Masses
Y. Homayouni, Yuanzhe Jiang, W. N. Brandt +8
Multi-year observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project have significantly increased the number of quasars with reliable reverberation-map…
Connecting the X-ray/UV variability of Fairall 9 with NICER: A Possible Warm Corona
Ethan R. Partington, Edward M. Cackett, Rick Edelson +7
The Seyfert 1 AGN Fairall 9 was targeted by NICER, Swift, and ground-based observatories for a 1000-day long reverberation mapping campaign. The following analysis of NICER s…
AGN STORM 2: X. The origin of the interband continuum delays in Mrk 817
Hagai Netzer, Michael R. Goad, Aaron J. Barth +26
The local (z=0.0315) AGN Mrk 817, was monitored over more than 500 days with space-borne and ground-based instruments as part of a large international campaign AGN STORM 2. Here, w…
Estimating Masses of Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei from the Halpha Emission Line
E. Dalla Bontà, B. M. Peterson, C. J. Grier +19
The goal of this project is to construct an estimator for the masses of supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) based on the broad Halpha emission line. We make u…
The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: A Kinematically Variable Broad-Line Region and Consequences for Masses of Luminous Quasars
Logan B. Fries, Jonathan R. Trump, Keith Horne +27
We present a velocity-resolved reverberation mapping analysis of the hypervariable quasar RM160 (SDSS J141041.25+531849.0) at z = 0.359 with 153 spectroscopic epochs of data repres…
AGN STORM 2. VII. A Frequency-resolved Map of the Accretion Disk in Mrk 817: Simultaneous X-ray Reverberation and UVOIR Disk Reprocessing Time Lags
Collin Lewin, Erin Kara, Aaron J. Barth +35
X-ray reverberation mapping is a powerful technique for probing the innermost accretion disk, whereas continuum reverberation mapping in the UV, optical, and infrared (UVOIR) revea…
The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: Multi-Line Dynamical Modeling of a Highly Variable Active Galactic Nucleus with Decade-long Light Curves
Zachary Stone, Yue Shen, Scott F. Anderson +15
We present dynamical modeling of the broad-line region (BLR) for the highly variable AGN SDSS J141041.25+531849.0 () using photometric and spectroscopic monitoring data…
Intensive broadband reverberation mapping of Fairall 9 with 1.8 years of daily Swift monitoring
R. Edelson, B. M. Peterson, J. Gelbord +5
We present 1.8 years of near-daily Swift monitoring of the bright, strongly variable Type 1 AGN Fairall 9. Totaling 575 successful visits, this is the largest such campaign reporte…
