Black hole mass estimates

DOI

We describe the general problem of estimating black hole masses of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by calculating the conditional probability distribution of M_BH_ given some set of observables. We estimated M_BH_ from both CIV and H{beta} for a sample of 100 sources, including new spectra of 29 quasars.
