First Results from the Lick AGN Monitoring Project: The Mass of the Black Hole in Arp 151
Misty C. Bentz, Jonelle L. Walsh, Aaron J. Barth +24
We have recently completed a 64-night spectroscopic monitoring campaign at the Lick Observatory 3-m Shane telescope with the aim of measuring the masses of the black holes in 13 ne…
Fueling QSOs: The Relevance of Mergers
Nicola Bennert, Gabriela Canalizo, Bruno Jungwiert +4
To study the relevance of mergers for the fueling of QSOs, we are currently conducting an HST imaging campaign of a sample of QSO host galaxies classified as ellipticals in the lit…
Quasar Black Hole Masses from Velocity Dispersions
Gabriela Canalizo, Margrethe Wold, Mariana Lazarova +1
Much progress has been made in measuring black hole (BH) masses in (non-active) galactic nuclei using the tight correlation between stellar velocity dispersions (sigma) in galaxies…
Evidence for Merger Remnants in Early-Type Host Galaxies of Low-Redshift QSOs
Nicola Bennert, Gabriela Canalizo, Bruno Jungwiert +4
We present results from a pilot HST ACS deep imaging study in broad-band V of five low-redshift QSO host galaxies classified in the literature as ellipticals. The aim of our study…
