TL;DR
This paper reviews reverberation mapping for AGNs and presents a new campaign to measure the broad-line region size and black hole mass in high-luminosity, high-redshift quasars at z~2-3, extending previous results.
Contribution
It introduces a monitoring campaign targeting luminous, high-redshift quasars to expand understanding of AGN properties at earlier cosmic times.
Findings
Reverberation mapping results for low and intermediate luminosity AGNs
Extension of measurements to high-luminosity, high-redshift quasars
Probing black hole mass and broad-line region size at z~2-3
Abstract
In this contribution we briefly review the reverberation mapping technique and its results for low and intermidiate luminosity AGNs. Then we present a monitoring campaign of high-luminosity high-redshift quasars which will extend these results by two orders of magnitude, probing the broad-line region size and black hole (BH) mass of luminous AGN at redshift ~2-3.
