AGN Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project V. Continuum Time Delays and Disk Inclinations

Reverberation mapping is a proven method for obtaining black hole mass estimates and constraining the size of the BLR. We analyze multi-wavelength continuum light curves from the 7 month AGN STORM monitoring of NGC 5548 and use reverberation mapping to model the accretion disk time delays. The model fits the light curves at UV to IR wavelengths assuming reprocessing on a flat, steady-state blackbody accretion disk. We calculate the inclination-dependent transfer function and investigate to what extent our model can determine the disk inclination, black hole MMdot and power law index of the disc temperature-radius relation.
