英文摘要 | Abstract we propose a method for the flux calibration of reverberation mapping spectra, based on accurate measurement of [o iii] λ5007 emission by spectral fitting. our method can achieve better accuracy than the traditional method of groningen & wanders, allowing reverberation mapping measurements for objects with variability amplitudes as low as ~5%. as a demonstration, we reanalyze the data of the seyfert 1 galaxy mcg–6-30-15, taken from the 2008 campaign of the lick active galactic nucleus monitoring project, which previously failed to obtain a time lag for this weakly variable object, owing to a relatively large flux calibration uncertainty. we detect a statistically significant rest-frame time lag of days between the hβ and v-band light curves. combining this lag with fwhm(hβ)?=?1933?±?81 km s?1 and a virial coefficient of f?=?0.7, we derive a virial black hole mass of m⊙, which agrees well with previous estimates by other methods. |
