Central masses and broad-line region sizes of active galactic nuclei. II. A homogeneous analysis of a large reverberation-mapping database
(Astrophysical Journal, 2004-10-01)
We present improved black hole masses for 35 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) based on a complete and consistent reanalysis of broad emission-line reverberation-mapping data. From objects with multiple line measurements, we ...
Difficulties with recovering the masses of supermassive black holes from stellar kinematical data
(Astrophysical Journal, 2004-02-10)
We investigate the ability of three-integral, axisymmetric, orbit-based modeling algorithms to recover the parameters defining the gravitational potential (mass-to-light ratio and black hole mass M•) in spheroidal stellar ...
