英文摘要 | We present the final installment of an intensive 13 year study of variations of the optical continuum and broad Hbeta emission line in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548. The database consists of 1530 optical continuum measurements and 1248 Hbeta measurements. The Hbeta variations follow the continuum variations closely, with a typical time delay of about 20 days. However, a year-by-year analysis shows that the magnitude of emission-line time delay is correlated with the mean continuum flux. We argue that the data are consistent with the simple model prediction between the size of the broad-line region and the ionizing luminosity, rproportional toL(ion)(1/2). Moreover, the apparently linear nature of the correlation between the Hbeta response time and the nonstellar optical continuum F-opt arises as a consequence of the changing shape of the continuum as it varies, specifically F(opt)proportional toF(UV)(0.56). . |
