The Impact of Elliptical Broad-line Regions on Reverberation-based Black Hole Mass Estimates
The virial factor f is critical for accurate supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass measurements using reverberation mapping (RM) and the radius–luminosity ( R – L ) relation, yet its value remains highly uncertain. While traditional models assume axisymmetric broad-line region (BLR) geometries, growin...
