Estimating Black Hole Masses in Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei from X-Ray and Optical Emission Line Luminosities
We test a novel method for estimating black hole masses ( M _BH ) in obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) that uses proxies to measure the FWHM of broad H α (FWHM _bH _α ) and the accretion disk luminosity at 5100 Å ( λL _5100 Å ). Using a published correlation, we estimate FWHM _bH _α from the nar...
