The Seoul National University AGN Monitoring Project. IV. Hα Reverberation Mapping of Six AGNs and the Hα Size–Luminosity Relation
The broad-line region (BLR) size–luminosity relation has paramount importance for estimating the mass of black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Traditionally, the size of the H β BLR is often estimated from the optical continuum luminosity at 5100 Å, while the size of the H α BLR and its corr...
