Medium-band photometric reverberation mapping of AGNs at $0.1<z<0.8$. Techniques and sample

Abstract

The most popular method of the broad-line region size estimation in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is the reverberation mapping based on measuring the time delay between the continuum flux and the flux in the emission lines. In our work, we apply the method of photometric reverberation mapping in mid-band filters, adapted for observations on the 1-m Zeiss-1000 telescope of Special Astrophysical Observatory of Russian Academy of Sciences, for the study of AGN with broad lines in the range of redshifts $0.1<z<0.8$. This paper provides a sample of 8 objects, describes the technique of observations and data processing for 2 studied objects to demonstrate the stability of the used method.
