We present the first results from a reverberation-mapping campaign undertaken during the first half of 2012, with additional data on one AGN (NGC 3227) from a 2014 campaign. Our main goals are (1) to determine the black hole masses from continuum-Hbeta reverberation signatures, and (2) to look for velocity-dependent time delays that might be indicators of the gross kinematics of the broad-line region. We successfully measure Hbeta time delays and black hole masses for five AGNs, four of which have previous reverberation mass measurements. The values measured here are in agreement with earlier estimates, though there is some intrinsic scatter beyond the formal measurement errors. We observe velocity dependent Hbeta lags in each case, and find that the patterns have changed in the intervening five years for three AGNs that were also observed in 2007.

  1. Reverberation in the Narrow Fe K${\alpha}$ Line in the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151 with XRISM

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    XRISM multi-epoch spectra of NGC 4151 yield a 3.5-day lag in the narrow Fe Kα line flux, consistent with a broad-line-region origin and giving M_BH/f_X ≈ 2×10^7 solar masses.

  2. Neutrino and pair creation in reconnection-powered coronae of accreting black holes

    astro-ph.HE 2024-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A hadronic model with two free parameters shows proton-photon interactions can supply enough pairs for observed coronal optical depths above a critical Eddington ratio, with neutrino luminosity scaling as L_X^2/L_Edd ...
