Abstract:
Using an empirical relation between the broad-line region size and
optical continuum luminosity, we estimated the black hole mass and
accretion rate for 135 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with
double-peaked broad emission lines in two samples, one from the Sloan
Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, Cat. J/AJ/126/2579) and the other from a
survey of radio-loud broad emission line AGNs (Eracleous & Halpern,
2003, Cat. J/ApJ/599/886).

Note (1): Starlight fraction values were taken from Eracleous & Halpern
(1994ApJS...90....1E 1994ApJS...90....1E, 2003 Cat. J/ApJ/599/886), except that a value
of 0.9 instead of 1 was adopted for MS 0450.3-1817 and Arp 102B.
