Monitoring AGNs with Hβ Asymmetry. IV. First Reverberation Mapping Results of 14 AGNs
Abstract
We report first-time reverberation mapping results for 14 AGNs from the ongoing Monitoring AGNs with Hβ Asymmetry campaign (MAHA). These results utilize optical spectra obtained with the Long Slit Spectrograph on the Wyoming Infrared 2.3m Telescope between 2017 November-2023 May. MAHA combines long-duration monitoring with high cadence. We report results from multiple observing seasons for 9 of the 14 objects. These results include Hβ time lags, supermassive black hole masses, and velocity-resolved time lags. The velocity-resolved lags allow us to investigate the kinematics of the broad-line region.
