Abstract

Single-epoch virial black hole (BH) mass estimators utilizing broad emission lines have been routinely applied to high-redshift quasars to estimate their BH masses. Depending on the redshift, different line estimators (H{alpha}, H{beta}, MgII{lambda}2798, CIV{lambda}1549) are often used with optical/near-infrared spectroscopy. Here, we use a homogeneous sample of 60 intermediate-redshift (z~1.5-2.2) Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasars with optical and near-infrared spectra covering CIV through H{alpha} to investigate the consistency between different single-epoch virial BH mass estimators.
