Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. V. Optical Spectroscopic Campaign and Emission-Line Analysis for NGC 5548
L. Pei, M. M. Fausnaugh, A. J. Barth +153
We present the results of an optical spectroscopic monitoring program targeting NGC 5548 as part of a larger multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign. The campaign spanned s…
Detection of Time Lags Between Quasar Continuum Emission Bands based on Pan-STARRS Light-curves
Yan-Fei Jiang, Paul J. Green, Jenny E. Greene +21
We study the time lags between the continuum emission of quasars at different wavelengths, based on more than four years of multi-band (, , , ) light-curves in the Pan-…
Fading AGN Candidates: AGN Histories and Outflow Signatures
William C. Keel, Chris J. Lintott, W. Peter Maksym +12
We consider energy budgets and radiative history of 8 fading AGN, identified from mismatch between the ionizion of very extended (>10 kpc) ionized clouds and the luminosity of the…
About AGN ionization echoes, thermal echoes, and ionization deficits in low redshift Lyman-alpha blobs
Mischa Schirmer, Sangeeta Malhotra, Nancy A. Levenson +7
We report the discovery of 14 Lyman-alpha blobs (LABs) at z~0.3, existing at least 4-7 billion years later in the Universe than all other LABs known. Their optical diameters are 20…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. I. Ultraviolet Observations of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 5548 with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on Hubble Space Telescope
G. De Rosa, B. M. Peterson, J. Ely +47
We describe the first results from a six-month long reverberation-mapping experiment in the ultraviolet based on 170 observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 with the Cosmic O…
Modeling reverberation mapping data I: improved geometric and dynamical models and comparison with cross-correlation results
Anna Pancoast, Brendon J. Brewer, Tommaso Treu
We present an improved and expanded simply parameterized phenomenological model of the broad line region (BLR) in active galactic nuclei (AGN) for modeling reverberation mapping da…
