Abstract: Photometric reverberation mapping (PRM) is a novel method used to study the geometry of the broad emission-line region (BLR), black hole masses and host-subtracted luminosities of active galactic nuclei (AGN). We obtained high-quality sampling data with small (15 to 80 cm) robotic telescopes at the observatory of the Ruhr-University Bochum, located in the Atacama desert in Chile.
