THE RELATIVE WAVELENGTH INDEPENDENCE OF IR LAGS IN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE HOT DUST
We show that, contrary to simple predictions, most AGNs show at best only a small increase of lags in the J, H, K, and L bands with increasing wavelength. We suggest that a possible cause of this near simultaneity of the variability from the near-IR to the mid-IR is that the hot dust is in a hollow...
