Spectral monitoring of AGN: Preliminary results for Ark 564 and Arp 102B

Abstract

We present preliminary results of the long-term spectral monitoring of two active galactic nuclei with different broad line shapes: Ark 564 and Arp 102B. Ark 564 is a bright nearby narrow-line Syfert 1 (NLSl) galaxy with relatively narrow permitted optical emission lines and a high FeII/H/5 ratio, while Arp 102B is a nearby broad-line radio galaxy with broad double-peaked Balmer emission lines. The spectra of Ark 564 were observed during 11-year period (1999-2009) and the spectra of Arp 102B in the 12-year period (19982009), with SAO 6 m and 1 m telescopes (Russia) and the OAGH 2.1 m telescope (Cananea, Mexico).
