Estimating black hole masses in quasars using broad optical and UV emission lines

P Marziani, JW Sulentic - New Astronomy Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
We review past work using broad emission lines as virial estimators of black hole masses in
quasars. Basically one requires estimates of the emitting region radius and virial velocity …
