Scientific paper

We propose to carry out an intensive, short-term spectroscopic monitoring program on the galaxy NGC 5548 to address fundamental problems on the nature of the continuum emission from AGNs and the structure and dynamics of the broad-emission line region. The goal of this program is to answer questions on short-time scale phenomena which arose out of our International Ultraviolet Explorer program on this same galaxy, but which require higher quality data than have been obtained previously and which require the unique capabilities of HST. The specific problems we will address are (1) the dynamics of the line-emitting gas, (2) the size and geometry of the very compact high-ionization emission- line region, and (3) whether or not the ultraviolet and optical continua arise in the same region.
