The performance of photometric reverberation mapping at high redshift and the reliability of damped random walk models
Abstract
Accurate methods for reverberation mapping using photometry are highly sought after since
they are inherently less resource intensive than spectroscopic techniques. However, the effectiveness
of photometric reverberation mapping for estimating black hole masses is sparsely
investigated at redshifts higher than z ≈ 0.04. Furthermore, photometric methods frequently
assume a damped random walk (DRW) model, which may not be universally applicable.
