Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most luminous objects known to humans, and are ubiquitous in the local and distant Universe. The method of reverberation mapping (RM) aims to bypass the limitations of spatial resolution of current instruments, and infer the geometry of the central regions of AGN through the analysis of light-echoes within these regions. In my talk I present the research of my thesis, in which I have applied statistical methods to improve RM results through stacking, a relatively new and unexplored area of the RM field. I use simulations and observed data from the OzDES RM program, and make recommendations on the development of survey strategies for future RM programs. |
