Descripción
We model the ultraviolet spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548
obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope during the 6 month
reverberation mapping campaign in 2014. Our model of the emission from
NGC 5548 corrects for overlying absorption and deblends the individual
emission lines. Using the modeled spectra, we measure the response to
continuum variations for the deblended and absorption-corrected
individual broad emission lines, the velocity-dependent profiles of
Lyα and C IV, and the narrow and broad intrinsic absorption
features. We find that the time lags for the corrected emission lines
are comparable to those for the original data. The velocity-binned lag
profiles of Lyα and C IV have a double-peaked structure indicative
of a truncated Keplerian disk. The narrow absorption lines show a
delayed response to continuum variations corresponding to recombination
in gas with a density of ∼105 cm‑3. The
high-ionization narrow absorption lines decorrelate from continuum
variations during the same period as the broad emission lines. Analyzing
the response of these absorption lines during this period shows that the
ionizing flux is diminished in strength relative to the far-ultraviolet
continuum. The broad absorption lines associated with the X-ray obscurer
decrease in strength during this same time interval. The appearance of
X-ray obscuration in ∼2012 corresponds with an increase in the
luminosity of NGC 5548 following an extended low state. We suggest that
the obscurer is a disk wind triggered by the brightening of NGC 5548
following the decrease in size of the broad-line region during the
preceding low-luminosity state.
