The Radius-Luminosity Relationship for Active Galactic Nuclei with Hierarchical Bayesian Reverberation Mapping

Reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei uses the time taken for variability to travel through the system as a measure of system size, with this size being used to inform estimates of the mass of the central black hole, a technique that has graduated to an industrial-scale effort in recent decades. Such large ta...
