\section{Introduction}
Active galactic nuclei are powerful objects, both in luminosity and in the imaginations of modern astronomers.
Active galactic nuclei are powerful objects, both in luminosity and in the imaginations of modern astronomers. They are some of the brightest objects in the sky, with highly variable spectra
Seyfert galaxies are thought to have active galactic nuclei (AGN) at their center: very luminous and variable sources of electromagnetic radiation. The variability in these objects do not follow any pattern astronomers have been able to recognize. The Type-I Seyfert galaxy NGC 5548 is one of the most studied Seyfert galaxies, and yet remains an object of intense interest and study to modern astronomy.
Direct observation of active galactic nuclei (AGN) such as that thought to exist at the center of NGC 5548 is rarely possible. The astronomer may infer the properties of AGN from the dynamics of their variable spectra. \cite{2016ApJ...821...56F} published the most complete set of time-dependent light curves yet collected from an active galactic nucleus as part III of STORM, an extensive optical/UV observational campaign carried out on NGC 5548. We now attempt to use frequency-domain analyses to map the reverberation in the observed light curves.
