Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

arXiv:2404.11495v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: NGC 4395 is a dwarf Seyfert 1 galaxy with a possible intermediate-mass black hole of several $\rm{10^4}$ solar masses in its center. As a well-studied object, its broad line region size has been measured via H$\rm{\alpha}$ time lag in numerous spectroscopic reverberation mapping (SRM) and narrow-band photometric reverberation mapping (PRM) campaigns. Here we present its H$\rm{\alpha}$ time lag measurement using broad-band photometric data, with the application of our newly-developed ICCF-Cut method as well as the JAVELIN and $\chi ^2$ methods. utilizing the minute-cadence multi-band light curves obtained from the $\rm{2}$m FTN and $\rm{10.4}$m GTC telescopes in recent works, we measured its H$\rm{\alpha}$ lag as approximately $40 \sim 90$ minutes from broad-band PRM. With the H$\rm{\alpha}$ emission line velocity dispersion, we calculated its central black hole mass as $\rm M_{\rm BH} = (8\pm4) \times 10^3\, M_{\rm \odot}$. These results are comparable with previous results obtained by narrow-band PRM and SRM, providing further support to an intermediate-mass black hole in NGC 4395. In addition, our study also validates the ICCF-Cut as an effective method for broad-band PRM, which holds the potential for widespread application in the era of large multi-epoch, high-cadence photometric surveys.
