A new direct method for measuring the Hubble constant from reverberating accretion discs in active galaxies

Stefan Collier, Kieth Horne, Ignaz Wanders +1

We show how wavelength-dependent time delays between continuum flux variations of AGN can be used to test the standard black hole-accretion disc paradigm, by measuring the temperat…

Steps Toward Determination of the Size and Structure of the Broad-Line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei. XV. Long-Term Optical Monitoring of NGC 5548

B. M. Peterson, A. J. Barth, P. Berlind +34

We present the results of three years of ground-based observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548, which combined with previously reported data, yield optical continuum and broad…

Optical Continuum and Emission-Line Variability of Seyfert 1 Galaxies

Bradley M. Peterson, Ignaz Wanders, Ray Bertram +3

We present the light curves obtained during an eight-year program of optical spectroscopic monitoring of nine Seyfert 1 galaxies: 3C 120, Akn 120, Mrk 79, Mrk 110, Mrk 335, Mrk 509…

On Uncertainties in Cross-Correlation Lags and the Reality of Wavelength-Dependent Continuum Lags in Active Galactic Nuclei

Bradley M. Peterson, Ignaz Wanders, Keith Horne +4

We describe a model-independent method of assessing the uncertainties in cross-correlation lags determined from AGN light curves, and use this method to investigate the reality of…

Multiwavelength observations of short time-scale variability in NGC 4151. IV. Analysis of multiwavelength continuum variability

R. A. Edelson et al

This paper combines data from the three preceding papers in order to analyze the multi-waveband variability and spectral energy distribution of the Seyfert~1 galaxy NGC~4151 during…
