Long-term monitoring of four AGN in support of ground-based spectroscopy
Active Dates: July 10, 2011 – Nov. 1, 2011
Abstract:
Dr. Misty Bentz of Georgia State University requests observations of four active galactic nuclei (AGN) for a study of variability in these sources by the STARE Collaboration. She requests BVRcIc filtered photometry of NGC 6814, NGC 7213, NGC 7469, and NGC 1566 from July 10, 2011 to November 1, 2011 in support of a spectroscopic monitoring campaign to run concurrently using the SMARTS 1.5-meter telescope at CTIO in Chile.
Justification:
Although the nuclei are bright, the background galaxian light will be significant, and observers are asked to use the photometric apertures and background annuli as described below for consistency.
Requested Data Types:
Photometry, Spectroscopy
