Scientific paper

The Lick AGN Monitoring Project (LAMP) targeted 13 nearby Seyfert 1 galaxies with the intent of measuring the masses of their central black holes using reverberation mapping. In conjunction with the spectroscopic monitoring, we obtained broad-band B and V imaging observations on most nights between the months of February and May 2008. The sample of 13 objects was divided between four telescopes: the 30-inch Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), the 2-meter Multicolor Active Galactic Nuclei Monitoring (MAGNUM) telescope, the Palomar 60-inch telescope, and the 32-inch Tenagra II telescope. In this talk, we will discuss the observational methods, the photometric measurements, the resultant light curves, and the variability characteristics of each object.
