A search for optical AGN variability in 35,000 low-mass galaxies with the Palomar Transient Factory
Vivienne F. Baldassare, Marla Geha, Jenny Greene
We present an analysis of the long-term optical variability for nearby (z<0.055) galaxies from the NASA-Sloan Atlas, of which are low-mass ($M_{\ast}<10^{10}~…
The Seoul National University AGN monitoring project. II. BLR size and black hole mass of two AGNs
Suvendu Rakshit, Jong-Hak Woo, Elena Gallo +20
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) show a correlation between the size of the broad line region (BLR) and the monochromatic continuum luminosity at 5100 Å, allowing black hole mass esti…
Disentangling nature from nurture: tracing the origin of seed black holes
Priyamvada Natarajan, Angelo Ricarte, Vivienne Baldassare +16
The origin and properties of black hole seeds that grow to produce the detected population of supermassive black holes are unconstrained at present. Despite the existence of severa…
Detecting the Birth of Supermassive Black Holes Formed from Heavy Seeds
Fabio Pacucci, Vivienne Baldassare, Nico Cappelluti +11
In this white paper we explore the capabilities required to identify and study supermassive black holes formed from heavy seeds ($\mathrm{M_{\bullet}} \sim 10^4 - 10^6 \, \mathrm{M…
Towards a high accuracy measurement of the local black hole occupation fraction in low mass galaxies
Elena Gallo, Edmund Hodges-Kluck, Tommaso Treu +7
This document illustrates the feasibility of a few per cent level measurement of the local black hole occupation fraction in low mass galaxies through wide-field, high angular reso…
Sub-Eddington super-massive black hole activity in Fornax early type galaxies
Nathan Lee, Elena Gallo, Edmund Hodges-Kluck +6
We characterize the incidence and intensity of low-level super-massive black hole activity within the Fornax cluster, through X-ray observations of the nuclei of 29 quiescent early…
