Description
We present the data and initial results from a combined Hubble Space
Telescope (HST)/IUE/ground-based spectroscopic monitoring campaign on
the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 that was undertaken in order to address
questions that require both higher temporal resolution and higher
signal-to-noise ratios than were obtained in our previous
multiwavelength monitoring of this galaxy in 1988-1989. IUE spectra were
obtained once every 2 days for a period of 74 days beginning on 1993
March 14. During the last 39 days of this campaign, spectroscopic
observations were also made with the HST Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS)
on a daily basis. Ground-based observations, consisting of 165 optical
spectra and 77 photometric observations (both CCD imaging and aperture
photometry), are reported for the period 1992 October-1993 September,
although many of the data are concentrated around the time of the
satellite-based program. These data constitute a fifth year of intensive
optical monitoring of this galaxy. In this contribution we describe the
acquisition and reduction of all of the satellite and ground-based data
obtained in this program. We describe in detail various photometric
problems with the FOS and explain how we identified and corrected for
various anomalies.
