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.…
AGN STORM 2. XI. Spectroscopic reverberation mapping of the hot dust in Mrk 817
Hermine Landt, Benjamin D. Boizelle, Michael S. Brotherton +41
The AGN Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping 2 (STORM 2) campaign targeted Mrk 817 with intensive multi-wavelength monitoring and found its soft X-ray emission to be s…
Untangling the Complex Nature of AGN Variability with Fairall 9
Scott Hagen, Chris Done, Edward M. Cackett +5
The accretion flow in AGN is not well understood, motivating intensive monitoring campaigns of multiwavelength variability to probe its structure. One of the best of these is the 3…
The Accretion Disk Size Problem in AGN Disk Reverberation Mapping is an Obscuration Effect: A Uniform AGN Sample Study with Swift
Collin Lewin, Erin Kara, Christos Panagiotou +5
In the past decade, Swift has performed several AGN high-cadence reverberation mapping campaigns, and generally found that the UV/optical interband lags are 3 times longer th…
Frequency-resolved time lags due to X-ray disk reprocessing in AGN
Christos Panagiotou, Iossif Papadakis, Erin Kara +6
Over the last years, a number of broadband reverberation mapping campaigns have been conducted to explore the short-term UV and optical variability of nearby AGN. Despite the exten…
