| Abstract: |
Reverberation mapping and black hole mass determination are currently available for AGNs with luminosity no greater than 10e46 ergs/sec. To further extend our knowledge of the most extreme cases we are undertaking a monitoring program of high-redshift (z = 2 to 3.4) high luminosity (up to 1048 erg/sec) quasars. Monthly photometric observations of 11 quasars, over a period of 7.5 years, and spectrophotometric monitoring of 8 of those objects, over 2.5 years, are now available. We will present preliminary results from this monitoring program which is aimed at measuring the most massive black holes in the universe. |
