中文摘要	We have recently completed a 64-night spectroscopic monitoring campaign at the Lick Observatory 3-m Shane telescope with the aim of measuring the masses of the black holes in 12 nearby (z < 0.05) Seyfert 1 galaxies with expected masses in the range similar to 10(6) - 10(7) M-circle dot and also the well-studied nearby active galactic nucleus (AGN) NGC 5548. Nine of the objects in the sample ( including NGC 5548) showed optical variability of sufficient strength during the monitoring campaign to allow for a time lag to be measured between the continuum fluctuations and the response to these fluctuations in the broad H beta emission. We present here the light curves for all the objects in this sample and the subsequent H beta time lags for the nine objects where these measurements were possible. The H beta lag time is directly related to the size of the broad-line region (BLR) in AGNs, and by combining the H beta lag time with the measured width of the H beta emission line in the variable part of the spectrum, we determine the virial mass of the central supermassive black hole in these nine AGNs. The absolute calibration of the black hole masses is based on the normalization derived by Onken et al., which brings the masses determined by reverberation mapping into agreement with the local M-BH-sigma(star)relationship for quiescent galaxies. We also examine the time lag response as a function of velocity across the H beta line profile for six of the AGNs. The analysis of four leads to rather ambiguous results with relatively flat time lags as a function of velocity. However, SBS 1116+583A exhibits a symmetric time lag response around the line center reminiscent of simple models for circularly orbiting BLR clouds, and Arp 151 shows an asymmetric profile that is most easily explained by a simple gravitational infall model. Further investigation will be necessary to fully understand the constraints placed on the physical models of the BLR by the velocity-resolved response in these objects.
