MEMECHO fits to synthetic AGN data from KRONOS
KRONOS monitors variable sources for long periods
of time simultaneously at X-ray, EUV, ultraviolet, and optical
wavelengths.
A major goal is to map the broad emission line regions of Seyfert
galaxies using reverberation effects arising from the compact variable
source of ionizing radiation and the finite light travel times
from this source out to the surrounding sites of photo-ionized line
emission.
