Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XII. Reverberation Mapping Results for 15 PG Quasars from a Long-Duration High-Cadence Campaign

Chen Hu, Sha-Sha Li, Sen Yang +15

We present the first results from long-term high-cadence spectroscopic monitoring of 15 PG quasars with relatively strong Fe II emission as a part of a broader reverberation mappin…

Monitoring AGNs with H Asymmetry. V. Long-term Variation and Evolution of the Broad H Emission-Line Profiles

Feng-Na Fang, Pu Du, Michael S. Brotherton +40

The physical origins of the diverse emission-line asymmetries observed in the spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remain incompletely understood. Monitoring the temporal varia…

Revisiting Emission-Line Measurement Methods for Narrow-Line Active Galactic Nuclei

Viraja C. Khatu, Sarah C. Gallagher, Keith Horne +16

Measuring broad emission-line widths in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is not straightforward owing to the complex nature of flux variability in these systems. Line-width measurement…

The Optical -- Mid-infrared Extinction Law of the l=165 Sightline in the Galactic Plane: Diversity of Extinction Law in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium

Shu Wang, Biwei Jiang, He Zhao +2

Understanding the effects of dust extinction is important to properly interpret observations. The optical total-to-selective extinction ratio, Rv = Av/E(B-V), is widely used to des…
