摘要:

我们目前的光度混响映射的窄线塞弗特1星系ESO 399-IG 20进行的机器人15厘米望远镜VYSOS-6在塞罗Armazones天文台。通过宽带和窄带滤波器的组合,我们通过测量连续谱的变化和H_α发射线之间的时间延迟来确定宽线发射区(BLR)的大小。本文用通量变化梯度法分离了主星系和活动星系核(活动星系核)的贡献,计算了活动星系核5100 A光度L_AGN。这两个测量结果都使我们能够在BLR大小-活动星系核光度图R_BLR-L_AGN^0.5中得到ESO 399-IG 20的位置。我们推断的基本几何形状的BLR通过建模的光变曲线。在连续谱和发射线光变曲线中明显的尖锐变化模式使我们能够拒绝球形BLR几何形状。光变曲线最适合的是一个盘状的BLR,它几乎是正面的,倾角为6+/-3度,延伸范围为16到20光日。

英文摘要:

We present photometric reverberation mapping of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy ESO399-IG20 performed with the robotic 15 cm telescope VYSOS-6 at the Cerro Armazones Observatory. Through the combination of broad- and narrow-band filters we determine the size of the broad-line emitting region (BLR) by measuring the time delay between the variability of the continuum and the H_alpha emission line. We use the flux variation gradient method to separate the host galaxy contribution from that of the active galactic nucleus (AGN), and to calculate the 5100A luminosity L_AGN of the AGN. Both measurements permit us to derive the position of ESO399-IG20 in the BLR size -- AGN luminosity R_BLR-L_AGN^0.5 diagram. We infer the basic geometry of the BLR through modelling of the light curves. The pronounced sharp variability patterns in both the continuum and the emission line light curves allow us to reject a spherical BLR geometry. The light curves are best fitted by a disk-like BLR seen nearly face-on with an inclination angle of 6+/-3 degrees and with an extension from 16 to 20 light days.
