- McHardy was on the core team and responsible for measuring the lags between wavebands and identified two main results from the paper. Firstly, he noted that the lags were larger than modelling predictions, which is the main result of the paper. Secondly, his analysis also revealed that the lag in the U-band was much larger than in the two surrounding bands (B and W1 - near ultraviolet) and proposed the explanation that it results from Balmer continuum emission from the broad line region, as earlier predicted in literature.
