BASS. XXIX. The Near-infrared View of the Broad-line Region (BLR): The Effects of Obscuration in BLR Characterization*
Abstract Virial black hole (BH) mass ( M BH ) determination directly involves knowing the broad-line region (BLR) clouds’ velocity distribution, their distance from the central supermassive BH ( R BLR ), and the virial factor ( f ). Understanding whether biases arise in M BH estimation with increasing obscuration …
