It provides an overview of recent developments in reverberation mapping, including new results covering the full AGN luminosity range and preliminary findings for high-luminosity quasars.
Findings
Establishment of the broad-line region size-luminosity relation.
Recent results extending to the full AGN luminosity spectrum.
Preliminary high-luminosity quasar time lag measurements.
Abstract
This contribution briefly reviews the reverberation mapping technique which leads to determination of black hole masses. I focus on the emerging relation between the broad-line region size and the active galactic nucleus (AGN) luminosity, and on an overview of recent results of reverberation mapping studies which are starting to cover the full AGN luminosity range. Preliminary results and time lag determination from a reverberation mapping program of high-luminosity quasars are also presented.
