Contents

The active galaxy NGC 4151 has a crucial role as one of only two active galactic nuclei for which black hole mass measurements based on emission line reverberation mapping can be calibrated against other dynamical techniques1-3. Unfortunately, effective calibration requires accurate knowledge of the distance to NGC4151, which is not at present avai...
