摘要:

我们根据2017年和2018年的光度监测活动,对最低光度的塞弗特1星系NGC 4395进行了变率研究。我们用22架地面和空间望远镜,以$\sim$ 5分钟的步频对NGC 4395进行了为期10天的观测,获得了UV、V、J、H和K/Ks波段以及HPDMATHABMM窄带的光变曲线。在\emph{Swift} -UVM 2和V滤光片光变曲线上,RMS变异性为$\sim$ 0.13 mag,在K滤光片上降至$\sim$ 0.01 mag。在校正H $α$窄带的连续谱贡献后,我们测量了H $α$发射线相对于V波段连续谱的时滞,即2017年${55}^{+27}_{-31}$至${122}^{+33}_{-67}$ min.和2018年${49}^{+15}_{-14}$至${83}^{+13}_{-14}$ min.,这取决于H $α$窄带中连续谱变异幅度的假设。由于紫外观测的通量不确定性和有限的时间基线,我们没有得到可靠的测量UV和V波段之间以及近红外波段之间的连续-连续滞后。在减去核星团的贡献后,我们确定了活动星系核单色光度为5100 $λL_λ= \left(5.75\pm0.40\right)\times 10^{39}\,\mathrm{erg\,s^{-1}}$。虽然NGC 4395的光学光度比其他混响映射的活动星系核低两个数量级,但NGC 4395遵循大小-光度关系,尽管与Bentz等人(2013)之前的最佳拟合关系有0.48 dex($\geq$ 2.5 $σ$)的偏移。

英文摘要:

We present the variability study of the lowest-luminosity Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4395 based on the photometric monitoring campaigns in 2017 and 2018. Using 22 ground-based and space telescopes, we monitored NGC 4395 with a $\sim$5 minute cadence during a period of 10 days and obtained light curves in the UV, V, J, H, and K/Ks bands as well as the H$α$ narrow-band. The RMS variability is $\sim$0.13 mag on \emph{Swift}-UVM2 and V filter light curves, decreasing down to $\sim$0.01 mag on K filter. After correcting for continuum contribution to the H$α$ narrow-band, we measured the time lag of the H$α$ emission line with respect to the V-band continuum as ${55}^{+27}_{-31}$ to ${122}^{+33}_{-67}$ min. in 2017 and ${49}^{+15}_{-14}$ to ${83}^{+13}_{-14}$ min. in 2018, depending on the assumption on the continuum variability amplitude in the H$α$ narrow-band. We obtained no reliable measurements for the continuum-to-continuum lag between UV and V bands and among near-IR bands, due to the large flux uncertainty of UV observations and the limited time baseline. We determined the AGN monochromatic luminosity at 5100Å $λL_λ= \left(5.75\pm0.40\right)\times 10^{39}\,\mathrm{erg\,s^{-1}}$, after subtracting the contribution of the nuclear star cluster. While the optical luminosity of NGC 4395 is two orders of magnitude lower than that of other reverberation-mapped AGNs, NGC 4395 follows the size-luminosity relation, albeit with an offset of 0.48 dex ($\geq$2.5$σ$) from the previous best-fit relation of Bentz et al. (2013).
