1H 0323+342 is a γ-ray-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy(NLS1). The variability mechanism of γ-ray-loud NLS1 s remains unclear. We have observed 1H 0323+342 photometrically from 2006 to2010 with a total of 41 nights of observations in order to constrain the variability mechanism. Intraday variabilities(IDVs) are detected on four nights. When considering the nights with time spans 〉 2 hours,the duty cycle is 28.3%. The average variability amplitude is 10.8% for IDVs and possibly variable nights. In the color-magnitude diagram, there are bluer-when-brighter chromatic trends for intraday and long-term timescales, which could be explained by the shock-in-jet model, and also could possibly be due to two distinct components or an accretion disk model.

In this report, we find the MBH estimated from the formalism of Wang et al. are more consistent with those from the MBH-δ, relation than those from previous single-epoch mass estimators, using a large sample of AGNs. Furthermore, we examine the differences between the line widths of Hβ and Mg II in detail by comparing their line profiles. The flux around the line core and that in the wing of both Hβ and Mg II show an opposite variation tendency, which indicates the BLR is multi-componential. The contribution of the wing makes the FWHM deviate from δline, and thus bias the MBH estimated from previous single-epoch mass estimators. Thus the correction on the formalism suggested by Wang et al. is crucial to MBn estimation.
