the scaling of an active nucleus's broad-line region size, from reverberation lags, with continuum luminosity, used for single-epoch black hole masses.

In astrophysics, broad-line region radius-luminosity relation refers to the scaling of an active nucleus's broad-line region size, from reverberation lags, with continuum luminosity, used for single-epoch black hole masses. This meaning comes from Kaspi (2000) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
