BH Mass Estimation of NLS1 X-ray Variability Application of the Method developed in Hayashida et al., 1998,ApJ500,p.642. Black Body Fit to Soft Component Classical Method in (X-ray) Astronomy Preliminary Results were appeared in Hayashida, 1998(IAU Sympo 188), and Hayashida, 1999 (Adv. in Space Res.).

Summary-1 We estimated BH masses of NLS1s from X-ray Variabiliy. BH Masses in NLS1s from X-ray variability distribute from 105 to 107 Mo, while those in BLS1 range 107-108Mo. Calibration to Mrev were Shown.

Summary-2 Soft Component of NLS1s was fitted with a BB model with kT of 0.1-0.2keV. BH mass estimated about 105Mo (r=3Rs) or 105-106Mo (r=0.5Rs) . Lbb exceeds LEdd for r=3Rs, but not for r=0.5Rs. MBBfit was compared with Mvar; Contradiction of 2 order of magnitudes was found. Possible reconciliation was discussed.
NLS1s : Personal View NLS1s have smaller BH of 105-107 Mo. In some of NLS1s, high mass flow rate makes near or super Eddington accretion. In the extreme high accretion rate Variability Amplitude is enhanced. Hard X-ray emission is suppressed. Mass flow rate changes with time scales of years, reflecting the smallness of system.
