The International AGN Watch: A Multiwavelength Monitoring Consortium

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 187))

Abstract

The International AGN Watch, an informal consortium of over 100 astronomers, was established to coordinate multiwavelength monitoring of a limited number of active galactic nuclei and thus obtain comprehensive continuum and emission-line variability data with unprecedented temporal and wavelength coverage. In this review, we summarize the principal scientific results from two completed space-based and ground-based campaigns on the Seyfert galaxies NGC 5548 and NGC 3783. We describe a project in progress and outline our future plans.
