HI survey of AGNs

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have conducted a new Arecibo survey for HI emission for 113 galaxies with broad-line (type 1) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) out to recession velocities as high as ~35000km/s.

Description

The primary aim of the study is to obtain sensitive HI spectra for a well-defined, uniformly selected sample of active galaxies that have estimates of their black hole masses in order to investigate correlations between HI properties and the characteristics of the AGNs.

HI emission was detected in 66 out of the 101 (65%) objects with spectra uncorrupted by radio frequency interference, among which 45 (68%) have line profiles with adequate signal-to-noise ratio and sufficiently reliable inclination corrections to yield robust deprojected rotational velocities. This paper presents the basic survey products, including an atlas of HI spectra, measurements of HI flux, line width, profile asymmetry, optical images, optical spectroscopic parameters, as well as a summary of a number of derived properties pertaining to the host galaxies.

To enlarge our primary sample, we also assemble all previously published HI measurements of type 1 AGNs for which we can estimate black hole masses, which total an additional 53 objects. The final comprehensive compilation of 154 broad-line active galaxies, by far the largest sample ever studied, forms the basis of our companion paper, which uses the HI database to explore a number of properties of the AGN host galaxies.
