  1. Black Hole Mass Measurements with the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) Janie K. Hoormann University of Queensland 23 April 2019

  2. Active Galactic Nuclei • Compact central region of active galaxies • AGN Structure • Supermassive black hole • ~105-109 Msun • Accretion Disk • Light days • Broad Line Region (BLR) clouds • Light weeks/months • Narrow Line Region clouds and Dusty Torus • Light years Credit: Urry and Padovani 1995

  10. Δt R ~ cΔt Disk Emission Cloud Emission R Time Time Sample light curves from bitbucket.org/nye17/javelin

  11. Reverberation Mapping • Calculate BLR radius using time delay between direct emission and ionized emission from BLR • Use the width of the emission line to determine the velocity of the clouds • Assuming black hole and clouds are in virial equilibrium

  12. The Big RM Questions • Do the extrapolated Radius-Luminosity relationships really hold out to high redshifts? • Secondary black hole mass measurements • AGN as standard candles • If we have black hole mass measurements out to high redshifts what can this tell us about black hole and galaxy evolution? Credit: Bentz et al. 2013 ApJ 767:149 Figure 11

  13. RM with OzDES • Targeting 771 AGN in the 10 DES-SN fields • 0 < z < 4.5 • Weekly observations with DES • Photometry taken with DECam on the 4m Blanco Telescope in Chile • Model the continuum emission from the disk • Monthly observations with OzDES • Spectroscopy using 2dF AAOmega on the AAT at Siding Springs • Model the response of the BLR • Hβ , MgII, CIV emission lines

  14. DES J0033-42 z = 2.593 C Hoormann et al 2019, submitted to MNRAS, arXiv:1902.04206

  15. M = (3.3 ± 1.2) x 109Mʘ DES J0033-42 Observed Lag = days Rest Frame Lag = days z = 2.593 343 days ~350 days C Hoormann et al 2019, submitted to MNRAS, arXiv:1902.04206

  16. DES J0238-04 z = 1.905 Hoormann et al 2019, submitted to MNRAS, arXiv:1902.04206

  17. DES J0238-04 M = (4.4 ± 2.0) x 109Mʘ Rest Frame Lag = days Observed Lag = days z = 1.905 358 days ~350 days Hoormann et al 2019, submitted to MNRAS, arXiv:1902.04206

  19. Future of OzDES

  20. 46 secure, 151 probable new lags measurements with Year 5 data!!!!

  21. Just look what one more year can do!

  22. Summary • OzDES is targeting 771 AGN out to z=4 • Recovered first 2 lags using the CIV line • Including one at z = 2.593! • Preliminary look at year 5 data shows we should be able to recover almost 200 more! • And there is still data from year 6 to analyse!
