SUMMARY:XXI century reverberation mapping: inferring black hole mass\, geo
 metry and dynamics of the broad line region in active galaxies - Anna Panc

DESCRIPTION:Constraining the inner regions of active galactic nuclei (AGN)
  is difficult due to the very small scales involved.  By using reverberat
 ion mapping\, we can substitute time resolution for spatial resolution and
  begin to probe AGN on the scales of the broad line region.  However trad
 itional reverberation mapping analysis uses only a fraction of the availab
 le information.  We have been developing advanced analysis methods that g
 ive us new insights into the properties of AGN\, including the absolute bl
 ack hole mass and the geometry and dynamics of the broad line region. Appl
 ying this technique to five AGNs from the Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2008
  sample\, we find that the BLR geometry is consistent with a thick disk an
 d the dynamics are a combination of elliptical orbits and inflow.\n
