We analyze published reverberation mapping data for three Seyfert galaxies(NGC 3227, NGC 3516, and NGC 4593) to refine the mass estimate for thesupermassive black hole in the center of each object. Treatment of the data ina manner more consistent with other large compilations of such masses allows usto more securely compare our results to wider samples of data, e.g., in theinvestigation of the M_bh-sigma relationship for active and quiescent galaxies.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures.
