H.; Yan, H.; Young, S.; Zu, Y.We present the results of an optical spectroscopic monitoring program targeting NGC 5548 as part of a larger multiwavelength reverberation mapping campaign. The campaign spanned 6 months and achieved an almost daily cadence with observations from five ground-based telescopes. The H beta and He II lambda 4686 broad emission-line light curves lag that of the 5100 angstrom optical continuum by 4.17(-0.36)(+0.36) days and 0.79(-0.34)(+0.35) days, respectively. The H beta lag relative to the 1158 angstrom ultraviolet continuum light curve measured by the Hubble Space Telescope is similar to 50% longer than that measured against the optical continuum, and the lag difference is consistent with the observed lag between the optical and ultraviolet continua. This suggests that the characteristic radius of the broad-line region is similar to 50% larger than the value inferred from optical data alone. We also measured velocity-resolved emission-line lags for H beta and found a complex velocity-lag structure with shorter lags in the line wings, indicative of a broadline region dominated by Keplerian motion. The responses of both the H beta and He II emission lines to the driving continuum changed significantly halfway through the campaign, a phenomenon also observed for C IV, Lya, He II (+ O III]), and Si IV(+ O IV]) during the same monitoring period. Finally, given the optical luminosity of NGC 5548 during our campaign, the measured H beta lag is a factor of five shorter than the expected value implied by the R-BLR-L-AGN relation based on the past behavior of NGC 5548.

H.; Yan, H.; Young, S.; Yuk, H.; Zheng, W.; Zhu, W.; Zu, Y.During the Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project observations of NGC 5548, the continuum and emission-line variability became decorrelated during the second half of the six-month-long observing campaign. Here we present Swift and Chandra X-ray spectra of NGC 5548 obtained as part of the campaign. The Swift spectra show that excess flux (relative to a power-law continuum) in the soft X-ray band appears before the start of the anomalous emission-line behavior, peaks during the period of the anomaly, and then declines. This is a model-independent result suggesting that the soft excess is related to the anomaly. We divide the Swift data into on-and off-anomaly spectra to characterize the soft excess via spectral fitting. The cause of the spectral differences is likely due to a change in the intrinsic spectrum rather than to variable obscuration or partial covering. The Chandra spectra have lower signal-to-noise ratios, but are consistent with the Swift data. Our preferred model of the soft excess is emission from an optically thick, warm Comptonizing corona, the effective optical depth of which increases during the anomaly. This model simultaneously explains all three observations: the UV emission-line flux decrease, the soft-excess increase, and the emission-line anomaly.
