Reverberation mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei
… black hole (SMBH) mass estimates using reverberation mapping (RM) technique. RM makes use of the time variability of the broad emission lines from the nearby broad-line region (BLR) to measure their time response or delay (τ) relative to the incident ionizing continuum from the accretion …

Reverberation Mapping of Supermassive Black Holes using Machine Learning
… regions remain inaccessible to direct imaging. Reverberation mapping circumvents this limitation by using time delays between correlated emission at different wavelengths to infer physical size scales. While X-ray reverberation probes the innermost accretion flow, continuum reverberation in the …

Black hole masses and host galaxy properties in distant quasars from reverberation mapping surveys
… (co)-evolution, and AGN feedback mechanisms. Reverberation mapping (RM) is the primary technique to measure BH masses beyond the local Universe (z>0.3). RM measures the delay in variability signatures between the accretion disk and the broad-line region (BLR). BH masses can be estimated by …

Microlensing of agn spectra
… to the central engine. This technique, known as Reverberation Mapping can be applied to any of the known quasars as long as there is a high enough S/N ratio, but observation campaigns over long periods of time are required. Microlensing is based upon a different approach that can help overcoming …

Spectral-Timing Observations of Disk-Jet Coupling in Black Hole X-ray Binaries
… X-ray emitting plasma called the “corona". X-ray Reverberation Mapping, where X-rays produced close to the BH reverberate off inspiraling gas, allows us to map out scales close to the event horizon -- orders of magnitude better than the resolution of our telescopes. Black hole X-ray binaries …
