The mass of quasars

Y Shen - arXiv preprint arXiv:1302.2643, 2013 - arxiv.org
I review the current status of quasar black hole (BH) mass estimations. Spectroscopic
methods have been developed to estimate BH mass in broad line quasars to an accuracy …

PS1-10jh: the disruption of a main-sequence star of near-solar composition

J Guillochon, H Manukian… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
When a star comes within a critical distance to a supermassive black hole (SMBH), immense
tidal forces disrupt the star, resulting in a stream of debris that falls back onto the SMBH and …

Measuring the masses of supermassive black holes

BM Peterson - The Physics of Accretion onto Black Holes, 2015 - Springer
Supermassive black holes reside at the centers of most, if not all, massive galaxies: the
difference between active and quiescent galaxies is due to differences in mass accretion …

The lick AGN monitoring project 2011: spectroscopic campaign and emission-line light curves

AJ Barth, VN Bennert, G Canalizo… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
In the Spring of 2011 we carried out a 2.5 month reverberation mapping campaign using the
3 m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory, monitoring 15 low-redshift Seyfert 1 galaxies. This …
