چکیده
Abstract We present the results from a spectroscopic monitoring campaign to obtain reverberation mapping measurements and investigate broad-line region (BLR) kinematics for active galactic nuclei (AGNs) of Mrk 817 NGC 7469. This was undertaken with Lijiang 2.4 m telescope. The median sampling is 2.0 days 1.0 day detect time lags broad emission lines, including H ? , ? He ii, i both AGNs, Fe ii respect varying AGN continuum at 5100 Å. Investigating relationship between line widths we find that BLR dynamics 7469 are consistent virial prediction. estimate masses central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) accretion rates AGNs. Using data this campaign, construct velocity-resolved lag profiles lines 817, which show almost same kinematic signatures in red wing slightly larger than blue wing. For 7469, only clearly H? H?, very similar 817. These indicate Keplerian motion AGNs seemingly has outflowing components during period. discuss measurements, SMBH mass rates.

Black Hole Masses from Reverberation Measurements
We have reanalyzed in a consistent way existing reverberation data for 35 AGNs for the purpose of refining the black hole masses derived from these data. We find that the precision (or random component of the error) of reverberation-based black hole mass measurements is typically around 30%, comparable to the precision attained in measurement of black hole masses in quiescent galaxies by gas or...

متن کاملComplex emission line region of Mrk 817
In this work we study the physical and kinematical properties of the emission line region of Seyfert 1.5 galaxy Mrk 817 using three sets of observations, among which are high-resolution spectra obtained with the Isaac Newton Telescope on Canary Islands. We find that in Mrk 817 the Narrow (NEL) and Broad Emission Lines (BEL) are very complex, indicating that structure of both the Narrow (NLR) an...
متن کاملBlack Hole Mass Estimates from Reverberation Mapping and from Spatially Resolved Kinematics
Black hole (BH) masses that have been measured by reverberation mapping in active galaxies fall significantly below the correlation between bulge luminosity and BH mass determined from spatially resolved kinematics of nearby normal galaxies. This discrepancy has created concern that one or both techniques suffer from systematic errors. We show that BH masses from reverberation mapping are consi...
متن کاملSystematic Errors in the Estimation of Black Hole Masses by Reverberation Mapping
The mass of the central black hole in many active galactic nuclei has been estimated on the basis of the assumption that the dynamics of the broad emission line gas are dominated by the gravity of the black hole. The most commonly-employed method is to estimate a characteristic size-scale r∗ from reverberation mapping experiments and combine it with a characteristic velocity v∗ taken from the l...
