Abstract (from CDS):

Result. of a five-month campaign of optical monitoring the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593 are presented. High resolution Hα and Hβ spectra and direct images in the Johnson U, B, V, R and I bands were obtained between January and June 1990. The emission lines and the continuum showed strong variations on time scales of weeks to days. The Hα line varied by more than 30% within only 5 days. Cross-correlating the light curves of the Balmer lines with that of the optical continuum gives a lag of around 4 days. Therefore, this low luminosity Seyfert galaxy may have one of the smallest BLRs known so far.
