VizieR Online Data Catalog: Continuum-Hβ light curves of 5 Seyfert 1 (De Rosa+, 2018)

The primary objective of this campaign is to determine the kinematics and structure of the BLR in a few well-studied bright AGNs. In particular, we are re-examining NGC 3227, NGC 3516, and NGC 5548 from Denney+ (2009ApJ...704L..80D). We also included in our observing program NGC 4151, for which the best reverberation data are from a weather-abbreviated campaign in 2005 (Bentz+ 2006ApJ...651..775B). Sources included in the 2012 campaign were Mrk 374, Mrk 382, Mrk 478, Mrk 618, and Mrk 704.

The principal data source for both the 2012 and 2014 campaigns was the Boller and Chivens CCD spectrograph on the MDM Observatory 1.3m McGraw-Hill telescope on Kitt Peak. The 2012 campaign ran from the beginning of 2012 January through the end of 2012 April. The spectral coverage is over the range 4400-5850Å and the resolution is 7.9Å.

The 2012 campaign also included spectroscopic observations obtained at the Asiago Astrophysical Observatory of Padova University with the 1.22m Galileo telescope and the Cassegrain Boller & Chivens spectrograph. The spectral coverage is over the range 3200-8000Å and the resolution is 10.5Å.

The Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CrAO) provided spectra from the Nasmith spectrograph and SPEC-10 CCD on the 2.6m Shajn telescope. It covered wavelengths from 3900 to 6100Å.

Finally, the 2.3m telescope at Wyoming Infrared Observatory (WIRO) and the WIRO Long Slit Spectrograph contributed a small number of observations. A spectral coverage between 4400 and 5600Å was used.

We supplemented our spectroscopic continuum light curves with photometric observations. Observations in 2012 were obtained with the 0.5m Centurian 18 at Wise Observatory (WC18) and with the 0.9m at West Mountain Observatory (WMO).

We also used data from the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN, Shappee+ 2014, J/ApJ/788/48). These data are from the first unit of ASAS-SN, Brutus, which consisted in 2012 of two 14cm aperture Nikon telephoto lenses on a single mount in the Faulkes Telescope North enclosure on Mount Haleakala, Hawaii.

In addition, the 2014 campaign included imaging from CrAO, Fountainwood Observatory (FWO), and the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO). The CrAO images were from the 0.7m telescope; observations from FWO were obtained with a 0.4m telescope. The LCO data were obtained using their worldwide network of 1m telescopes in the Sloan ugriz bands.

When needed, we adopt a cosmological model with Ω_m=0.30, Ω_Λ=0.70, and H₀=70km/s/Mpc.
