Funding Information: We thank the anonymous referee for thoughtful comments and great suggestions that significantly improved this manuscript. We are grateful to M. Fausnaugh for offering help with their mapspec code used to test different spectral scaling of our Shane/Kast data, and M. Bentz for providing her table of values for the radius–luminosity relationship. We acknowledge the following individuals for their time and effort contributed to the Lick observing campaign: (Shane) Zachary Parsons, Estefania Padilla Gonzalez, Noah Rivera, Cristilyn Gardner, Jake Haslemann, Sean Lewis, and Ellen Glad; (Nickel) Nick Choksi, Sameen Yunus, Jeff Molloy, Andrew Rikhter, and Haynes Stephens. Photometric data collection at MLO was supported by NSF grant AST-1210311; we thank Robert Quimby, Emma Lee, Joseph Tinglof, Eric McLaughlin, Amy Igarashi, and Tariq Johnson for assistance with these observations. Funding Information: We are deeply grateful to the UCO/Lick staff for help with scheduling and supporting the observations. Research at Lick Observatory is partially supported by a generous gift from Google. The Kast red CCD detector upgrade, led by B. Holden, was made possible by the Heising-Simons Foundation, William and Marina Kast, and the University of California Observatories. KAIT and its ongoing operation were made possible by donations from Sun Microsystems, Inc., the Hewlett-Packard Company, AutoScope Corporation, Lick Observatory, the NSF, the University of California, the Sylvia & Jim Katzman Foundation, and the TABASGO Foundation. Data presented herein were obtained using the UCI Remote Observing Facility, made possible by a generous gift from John and Ruth Ann Evans. Funding Information: This work makes use of observations from the LCOGT network. The Liverpool Telescope is operated on the island of La Palma by Liverpool John Moores University in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias with financial support from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council. Based on observations acquired at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional in the Sierra San Pedro Mártir (OAN-SPM), Baja California, México, we thank the daytime and night support staff at the OAN-SPM for facilitating and helping obtain our observations. Some of the data used in this paper were acquired with the RATIR instrument, funded by the University of California and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and the 1.5-meter Harold L. Johnson telescope at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, operated and maintained by the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional and the Instituto de Astronomía of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Operations are partially funded by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGAPA/PAPIIT IG100414, IT102715, AG100317, IN109418, IG100820, and IN105921). We acknowledge the contribution of Leonid Georgiev and Neil Gehrels to the development of RATIR. This research was made possible through the use of the AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey (APASS), funded by the Robert Martin Ayers Sciences Fund and NSF grant AST-1412587 and contributed by observers worldwide. We acknowledge the use of The AGN Black Hole Mass Database as a compilation of some of the reverberation-mapped black hole masses prior to 2015 (Bentz & Katz ). This research has made use of the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED), which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
