Abstract

In the original version of this paper, we reported on a series of ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopic observations of the dwarf Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC4395,madewith the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on theHubble Space Telescope (HST ). Unfortunately, a data processing error led to an incorrect flux calibration for these spectra. All STIS-based UV fluxes in the original paper are too high by a factor of 7.96 as a result of neglecting to adjust the flux-scaling algorithm from a diffuse source to a point source. Because most of the analysis in the original paper involved only relative flux changes, most of the scientific conclusions are unaffected by this correction, except for the slope of the broad-line region radius–luminosity relationship, as described below. Specific changes that result from this correction are:
