Abstract We present the main results from a long-term reverberation mapping campaign carried out for Seoul National University AGN Monitoring Project (SAMP). High-quality data were obtained during 2015–2021 32 luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs; i.e., continuum luminosity in range of 10 44–46 erg s −1 ) at regular cadence, 20–30 days spectroscopy and 3–5 photometry. obtain time lag measurements between variability H β emission AGNs; 25 those have best based on our quality assessment,...
Drought conditions affect ozone air quality, potentially altering multiple terms in the O3 mass balance equation. Here, we present a multiyear observational analysis using data collected before, during, and after record-breaking California drought (2011–2015) at O3-polluted locations of Fresno Bakersfield near Sierra Nevada foothills. We separately assess influences on chemical production (PO3) from concentration. show that isoprene concentrations, which are source O3-forming organic...
Abstract We present velocity-resolved reverberation lags of H β for 20 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the Seoul National University AGN Monitoring Project. detect unambiguous structures in 12 AGNs, among which eight objects exhibit symmetric structures, two show inflow-like characteristics, and display outflow-like signatures. For we successfully measure different years, revealing evidence evolving broad-line region (BLR) kinematics. By combining our sample with literature lags, find...
Abstract We present molecular gas-dynamical mass measurements of the central black holes in giant elliptical galaxies NGC 4786 and 5193, based on CO (2−1) observations from Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Hubble Space Telescope near-infrared imaging. The region each galaxy contains a circumnuclear disk that exhibits orderly rotation with projected line-of-sight velocities ∼270 km s −1 . build models for rotating fit them directly to ALMA data cubes.
