Active galaxies (AGNs) are generally luminous systems, characterised by the presence of strong nuclear emission lines of numerous species including H, He I, He II, and Fe, Ca, O, C and S over a range of ionisations. These features originate from gas clouds in the nuclear regions, with the energy supplied through accretion onto a central massive black hole. The high-temperature, rapidly-rotating gas clouds nearest the central engine are responsible for producing broad emission lines (hence, the "Broad Line Region"). The structure of the BLR can be discerned using a technique known as reverberation mapping: variations in the accretion rate lead to fluctuations in luminosity; those variations lead, in turn, to variations in the photoionisation of the BLR, and corresponding changes in spectral line strengths and velocities; monitoring those changes, and correlating them with the photometric variability of the central source, measures the light travel time from nucleus to BLR gas, and hence maps the size of the BLR. The present prorgam will use the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph to undertake systematic monitoring of the nuclear regions of the Seyfert I galaxy, NGC 5548. The observations are spread over the next 6 months, with one orbit per day for 179 days. |
