Corona-heated Accretion-disk Reprocessing: Frequency-resolved Lag Predictions for UV/Optical Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei
Continuum reverberation mapping with high-cadence, long-term UV/optical monitoring of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) enables us to resolve the AGN central engine sizes on different timescales. The frequency-resolved time lags of NGC 5548 (the target for the AGN STORM I campaign) are inconsistent with...
