Optical V-Band Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei

POSTER

Abstract

Students at Southwestern University participated in an international observing campaign to study twelve active galactic nuclei (AGN). As part of this project, the students measured optical V-band light variations of four targets within the range of the Southwestern University Fountainwood Observatory research telescope. Target images and a sample light curve of one target (NGC 5548) are presented.
