Central Masses and Broad-Line Region Sizes of Active Galactic Nuclei. I. Comparing the Photoionization and Reverberation Techniques

TL;DR: In this article, the mass and emission-line region sizes of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be measured by "reverberation-mapping" techniques, and these results can be used to calibrate similar determinations made by photoionization models of the AGN line-emitting regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Calibration of the M-sigma Relationship for AGNs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors calibrate reverberation-based black hole masses in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by using the correlation between black hole mass, M, and bulge/spheroid stellar velocity dispersion, sigma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Keplerian Motion of Broad-Line Region Gas as Evidence for Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the time-delayed response of the emission lines to continuum variations to infer the size of the line-emitting region, and these determinations were combined with measurements of the Doppler widths of the variable line components to estimate a virial mass.
