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…
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…
Departures from Standard Disk Predictions in Intensive Ground-Based Monitoring of Three AGN
Diego Gonzalez-Buitrago, Aaron J. Barth, Rick Edelson +42
We present ground-based, multi-band light curves of the AGN Mrk~509, NGC\,4151, and NGC\,4593 obtained contemporaneously with \sw\, monitoring. We measure cross-correlation lags re…
Investigating the Variable Continuum Lags in PG 2130+099
Jake A. Miller, Edward M. Cackett, Mike Goad +1
Broadband photometric reverberation mapping (RM) provides a measure of the size of the continuum-emitting region in active galactic nuclei (AGN). Previous monitoring campaigns of P…
Physical characterization of the FeLoBAL outflow in SDSS J0932+0840: Analysis of VLT/UVES observations
Mayank Sharma, Nahum Arav, Kirk T. Korista +5
Context: The study of quasar outflows is essential in understanding the connection between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their host galaxies. We analyze the VLT/UVES spectrum of…
