Estimating
Basic AGN Properties
•Black
Hole Mass (Vestergaard 2002):
•Luminosity
in terms of Eddington Fraction:
Recall Kaspi et al. 2000, for Hbeta:
R=32.9(λLλ5100 /1044 erg s-1)0.7 lt-days;
Also assumed isotropic velocity
dispersion (what does this mean?).
Here
assume SED of Elvis et al. 1994, and spherical accretion.
