Supermassive Black Holes With High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. I. First Results From a New Reverberation Mapping Campaign

Abstract: We report first results from a large project to measure black hole (BH) mass in high accretion rate active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Such objects may be different from other AGNs in being powered by slim accretion disks and showing saturated accretion luminosities, but both are not yet fully understood. The results are part of a large reverberation mapping (RM) campaign using the 2.4-m Shangri-La telescope at the Yunnan Observatory in China. The goals are to investigate the gas distribution near the BH and the p… Show more

“…Kelly et al 2010;Suh et al 2015). However, there are indications that a fraction of sources may be at highly super-Eddington accretion rates (Collin et al 2002;Abolmasov & Shakura 2012;Du et al 2014Du et al , 2015Du et al , 2016Wang et al 2014). The disk model we use is not well adjusted to highly super-Eddington accretion rates so the results for the last value should be treated with much reservation, but we show then to indicate the possible trend.…”

“…For example, some observers model the surface brightness distributions of host galaxies and fit galaxies (e.g. Sérsic profiles) and point sources (using point-spread functions, Dunlop et al 2003;Peng et al 2006;Du et al 2014;Martínez-Paredes et al 2017) to the images. 18 Others examined the SED using a combination of AGN and galaxy emission with possible extinction of the AGN flux when spectroscopic data are available (Bongiorno et al 2007;Croom et al 2009;Masters et al 2012;Mechtley et al 2012;Lyu et al 2016).…”

“…The photometric observations use a Johnson V filter. Details of the telescope, YFOSC, observational setup, and data reduction can be found in Du et al (2014). To achieve accurate absolute and relative flux calibration, we took advantage of the long-slit capability of YFOSC and simultaneously observed a nearby comparison star as a reference standard.…”
