Light Curves of Markarian 509

---

• Optical light curves (1988 - 1993)
  • Data: Optical continuum, Hbeta, and He II 4686 light curves from Carone et al. (1996, ApJ, 471, 737).
    [continuum at 5100 Å]
    [Hbeta emission line]
    [He II 4686 emission line]
  • Reference: Carone et al. 1997, ApJ, 471, 737 [Abstract]
  • Format of Data:
    • Column (1): JD - 2440000
    • Column (2): Flux. Continuum in units of 10^-15 ergs s^-1 cm^-2 A^-1, emission lines in units of 10^-13 ergs s^-1 cm^-2.
    • Column (3): Uncertainty in flux, same units as column (2).
  • Additional Notes: From Table 5 Carone et al. (1996). Narrow-line components have not been removed from lines, and galaxy contamination is not removed from continuum.
