Round 3 - IRAC Monitoring of NGC 4051 for Interday Variability
|
Abstract
We will be observing the Seyfert 1.5 NGC 4051 on a daily basis for
approximately 10 days for signs of variability at 3.6 and 5.8 microns.
NGC 4051 has previously shown variability on this timescale at 2.2
microns. Based on the difference in variability at 3.6 and 5.8 microns
limits can be placed on the dust distribution at the nucleus of the AGN.
