5 Feb 2016 | Abstract: | In the sixth of the series of papers reporting on a large reverberation
mapping (RM) campaign of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with high accretion
rates, we present velocity-resolved time lags of H$eta$ emission lines for
nine objects observed in the campaign during 2012$-$2013. In order to correct
the line-broadening caused by seeing and instruments before the analysis of
velocity-resolved RM, we adopt Richardson-Lucy deconvolution to reconstruct
their H$eta$ profiles. The validity and effectiveness of the deconvolution
are checked out by Monte Carlo simulation. Five among the nine objects show
clear dependence of time delay on velocity. Mrk 335 and Mrk 486 show signatures
of gas inflow whereas the clouds in the broad-line regions (BLRs) of Mrk 142
and MCG +06-26-012 tend to be radial outflowing. Mrk 1044 is consistent with
the case of virialized motions. The lags of the rest four are not
velocity-resolvable. The velocity-resolved RM of super-Eddington accreting
massive black holes (SEAMBHs) shows that they have diversity of the kinematics
in their BLRs. Comparing with the AGNs with sub-Eddington accretion rates, we
do not find significant differences in the BLR kinematics of SEAMBHs. | Source: | arXiv, 1602.1922 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
