Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei. I. The Hβ Broad-line Region Structure and Black Hole Masses of Five Quasars

We conduct a reverberation mapping (RM) campaign to spectroscopically monitor a sample of selected bright active galactic nuclei with large anticipated broad-line region (BLR) sizes adequate for spectroastrometric (SA) observations by the GRAVITY instrument on the Very Large Telescope Interferometer...
