SEAMBHs IV. H{beta} time lags

DOI

We have completed two years of photometric and spectroscopic monitoring of a large number of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with very high accretion rates. In this paper, we report on the result of the second phase of the campaign, during 2013-2014, and the measurements of five new H{beta} time lags out of eight monitored AGNs. All five objects were identified as super-Eddington accreting massive black holes (SEAMBHs). The highest measured accretion rates for the objects in this campaign are dM/dt>~200, where dM/dt=dM/dt_{dot}/L_Edd_C^-2^, dM/dt{dot} is the mass accretion rates, L_Edd is the Eddington luminosity and c is the speed of light.
