Reverberation mapping monitoring of NGC3516

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The changes of broad emission lines should be a crucial issue in understanding the physical properties of changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs).

Description

Here we present the results of an intensive and homogeneous 6 month long reverberation mapping (RM) monitoring campaign during a low-activity state of the CL-AGN Seyfert galaxy NGC3516. Photometric and spectroscopic monitoring was carried out during 2018-2019 with the Lijiang 2.4m telescope.

The sampling is 2d in most nights, and the average sampling is ~3d. The rest-frame time lags of H{alpha} and H{beta} are {tau}_H{alpha}_=7.56_-2.10_^+4.42^ and {tau}_H{beta_}=7.50_-0.77_^+2.05^days, respectively. From an rms H{beta} line dispersion of {sigma}_line_=1713.3+/-46.7km/s and a virial factor of f_{sigma}_=5.5, the central black hole mass of NGC3516 is estimated to be M_BH_=2.4_-0.3_^+0.7^x10^7^M_{sun}_, which is in agreement with previous estimates.

The velocity-resolved delays show that the time lags increase toward negative velocity for both H{alpha} and H{beta}. The velocity-resolved RM of H{alpha} is done for the first time. These RM results are consistent with other observations before the spectral-type change, indicating a basically constant broad-line region structure during the CL process.

The CL model of changes of accretion rate seems to be favored by long-term H{beta} variability and RM observations of NGC 3516.
