The lick agn monitoring project: velocity-delay maps from t
Misty C. Bentz,Keith Horne,Aaron J. Barth,Vardha N. Bennert,Gabriela Canalizo,Alexei V. Filippenko,Elinor L. Gates,Matthew A. Malkan,Takeo Minezaki,Tommaso Treu,Jong-Hak Woo,Jonelle L. Walsh +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented velocity-delay maps for optical H I, He I, and He II recombination lines in Arp 151, recovered by fitting a reverberation model to spectrophotometric moni toring data using the maximum-entropy method.

Hst imaging of fading agn candidates. i. host-galaxy properties and origin of the extended gas*
William C. Keel,W. Peter Maksym,Vardha N. Bennert,Chris Lintott,S. Drew Chojnowski,Alexei Moiseev,A. A. Smirnova,Kevin Schawinski,C. Megan Urry,Daniel A. Evans,Anna Pancoast,Bryan Scott,Charles Showley,Kelsi Flatland +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the host-galaxy properties and origin of the gas and find evidence of ongoing or past interactions, including tidal tails, shells, and warped or chaotic dust structures; a similarly selected sample of obscured AGNs with extended ionized clouds shares this high incidence of disturbed morphologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fading AGN candidates: AGN histories and outflow signatures
William C. Keel,Chris Lintott,W. Peter Maksym,Vardha N. Bennert,S. Drew Chojnowski,Alexei Moiseev,A. A. Smirnova,Kevin Schawinski,Lia F. Sartori,C. Megan Urry,Anna Pancoast,Mischa Schirmer,Bryan Scott,Charles Showley,Kelsi Flatland +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the use of minimum ionizing luminosity Q derived from photoionization balance in the brightest pixels in H-alpha at each projected radius, and find that the underestimation from the upper envelope of Q values is roughly constant for a given object.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmic evolution of black holes and spheroids. v. the relation between black hole mass and host galaxy luminosity for a sample of 79 active galaxies
Daeseong Park,Daeseong Park,Jong-Hak Woo,Vardha N. Bennert,Tommaso Treu,Tommaso Treu,Matthew W. Auger,Matthew A. Malkan +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the cosmic evolution of the black hole (BH) mass-bulge luminosity relation using a sample of 52 active galaxies at z = 0.36 and z ~ 0.57 in the BH mass range of 107.4-109.1 M ☉.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present models of the Hβ-emitting broadline region (BLR) in seven Seyfert 1 galaxies from the Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2011 sample, drawing inferences on the BLR structure and dynamics as well as the mass of the central supermassive black hole.
