Query: Dust reverberation-mapping of the Seyfert 1 galaxy WPVS48   Using robotic telescopes of the Universitatssternwarte Bochum near Cerro
Armazones in Chile, we monitored the z=0.0377 Seyfert 1 galaxy WPVS48 (2MASX
J09594263-3112581) in the optical (B and R) and near-infrared (NIR, J and Ks)
with a cadence of two days. The light curves show unprecedented variability
details. The NIR variation features of WPVS48 are consistent with the
corresponding optical variations, but the features appear sharper in the NIR
than in the optical, suggesting that the optical photons undergo multiple
scatterings. The J and Ks emission, tracing the hot (1600 K) dust echo, lags
the B and R variations by on average 64 +/- 4 days and 71 +/- 5 days,
respectively (restframe). WPVS48 lies on the known tau-M_V relationship.
However, the observed lag is about three times shorter than expected from the
dust sublimation radius r_sub inferred from the optical-UV luminosity, and
explanations for this common discrepancy are searched for. The sharp NIR echos
argue for a face-on torus geometry and allow us to put forward two potential
scenarios: 1) as previously proposed, in the equatorial plane of the accretion
disk the inner region of the torus is flattened and may come closer to the
accretion disk. 2) The dust torus with inner radius r_sub is geometrically and
optically thick, so that the observer only sees the facing rim of the torus
wall, which lies closer to the observer than the torus equatorial plane and
therefore leads to an observed foreshortened lag. Both scenarios are able to
explain the factor three discrepancy between tau and r_sub. Longer-wavelength
dust reverberation data might enable one to distinguish between the scenarios.
