Modelling the diffuse continuum emission: the NLS1 Mrk 110
Michael R. Goad, Kirk T. Korista, Edward M. Cackett
We present detailed model diffuse continuum (DC) plus hydrogen emission line templates from a summation over a broad range in hydrogen gas densities. We address the effect of finit…
AGN STORM 2. XII. Ground-Based Optical Photometry and Lag Measurements of Mrk 817
John W. Montano, Aaron J. Barth, Keith Horne +40
We present the ground-based imaging campaign and light curves of Markarian 817 as part of the multiwavelength monitoring program AGN STORM\,2. Observations were carried out over 1.…
First reverberation mapping of a Bowen fluorescence line
Martin W. Ochmann, Edward M. Cackett, Lukas Diehl +3
Reverberation mapping (RM) is a powerful tool to determine the extent, structure, and kinematics of the broad-line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGN). So far, RM of the B…
A Phenomenological Study of the Accretion Disk in the Super-Eddington AGN I Zw 1
Farin Drewes, Roberta Vieliute, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban +11
The structure of the accretion disk in AGN is still an unsolved question, especially how it may change with Eddington ratio. Here we examine the accretion disk in the super-Eddingt…
Continuum Reverberation Mapping of 18 AGN Over Four Years
Jake A. Miller, Edward M. Cackett, Misty C. Bentz +3
Continuum reverberation mapping probes the size scale of the optical continuum-emitting region in active galactic nuclei (AGN). The source of this emission has long been thought to…
Intensive X-ray/UVOIR continuum reverberation mapping of the Seyfert AGN MCG+08-11-11
D. Kynoch, I. M. McHardy, E. M. Cackett +11
We present results from intensive (x3 daily), three-month-long X-ray, UV and optical monitoring of the bright Seyfert active galactic nucleus (AGN) MCG+08-11-11 with Swift, support…
