Abstract

We have been performing a long term AGN Monitoring project, to measure the time lag of H beta line with respect to AGN optical continuum based on the reverberation mapping method. From October 2015, 69 AGNs have been monitored with BVR band photometry, using the MDM 1.3m & 2.4m and LOAO 1m telescopes, and long-slit spectroscopy, using the Lick 3m and MDM 2.4m telescopes. In this poster, we report the preliminary results of the variability study of a subsample of 9 AGNs, particularly with a few of tentative time rag measurements between B band magnitude and H beta luminosity based on the 1st year data set from February 2016 - January 2017.
