Journal ArticleDOI
The mass relations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies at 1<z<2 with HST-WFC3
Xuheng Ding,John D. Silverman,Tommaso Treu,Andreas Schulze,Malte Schramm,Simon Birrer,Daeseong Park,Knud Jahnke,Vardha N. Bennert,Jeyhan S. Kartaltepe,Anton M. Koekemoer,Matthew A. Malkan,David B. Sanders +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the host galaxy luminosity and stellar mass along with other properties through the 2D model fitting, and found that the observed ratio of MBH to total M* is 2.7 times larger at z~1.5 than in the local universe, while the scatter is equivalent between the two epochs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A local baseline of the black hole mass scaling relations for active galaxies. III. the MBH-σ relation
Vardha N. Bennert,Tommaso Treu,Tommaso Treu,Matthew W. Auger,Maren Cosens,Daeseong Park,Rebecca Rosen,C. E. Harris,Matthew A. Malkan,Jong-Hak Woo +9 more
TL;DR: Bennert et al. as mentioned in this paper used the Keck-based spatially resolved kinematics to determine stellar-velocity dispersion within the spheroid effective radius (σspat,reff).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Lick AGN Monitoring Project as mentioned in this paper targeted 13 nearby Seyfert 1 galaxies with the intent of measuring the masses of their central black holes using reverberation mapping, and collected broadband B and V images on most nights from 2008 February through 2008 May.
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 Glatland +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, 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
A sub-kpc-scale binary active galactic nucleus with double narrow-line regions
Jong-Hak Woo,Jong-Hak Woo,Jong-Hak Woo,Hojin Cho,Bernd Husemann,S. Komossa,S. Komossa,Daeseong Park,Vardha N. Bennert +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the kinematic properties of a type-2 quasi stellar object (QSO), SDSS J132323.9 at z ∼ 0.35, based on the analysis of Very Large Telescope integral field spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, which suggest that the target is a binary active galactic nucleus (AGN) with double narrow line regions.
