Multi-Band Intra-Night Optical Variability of BL Lacertae
Haritma Gaur, Alok C. Gupta, R. Bachev +5
We monitored BL Lacertae frequently during 2014 - 2016 when it was generally in a high state. We searched for intra-day variability for 43 nights using quasi-simultaneous measureme…
Blazar spectral variability as explained by a twisting inhomogeneous jet
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata
Blazar emission is dominated by non-thermal radiation from a relativistic jet pointing toward us, therefore undergoing Doppler beaming. This is responsible for flux enhancement and…
Multi-wavelength temporal and spectral variability of the blazar OJ 287 during and after the December 2015 flare: a major accretion disc contribution
P. Kushwaha, A. C. Gupta, P. J. Wiita +33
We present a multi-wavelength spectral and temporal analysis of the blazar OJ 287 during its recent activity between December 2015 -- May 2016, showing strong variability in the ne…
Dissecting the long-term emission behaviour of the BL Lac object Mrk 421
M. I. Carnerero, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +4
We report on long-term multi-wavelength monitoring of blazar Mrk 421 by the GASP-WEBT collaboration and Steward Observatory, and by the Swift and Fermi satellites. We study the sou…
Stochastic modeling of multiwavelength variability of the classical BL Lac object OJ 287 on timescales ranging from decades to hours
A. Goyal, L. Stawarz, S. Zola +109
We present the results of our power spectral density analysis for the BL Lac object OJ\,287, utilizing the {\it Fermi}-LAT survey at high-energy -rays, {\it Swift}-XRT in X-rays…
A peculiar multi-wavelength flare in the Blazar 3C 454.3
Alok C. Gupta, Arun Mangalam, Paul J. Wiita +20
The blazar 3C454.3 exhibited a strong flare seen in gamma-rays, X-rays, and optical/NIR bands during 3--12 December 2009. Emission in the V and J bands rose more gradually than did…
Gaia17biu/SN 2017egm in NGC 3191: The closest hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova to date is in a "normal", massive, metal-rich spiral galaxy
Subhash Bose, Subo Dong, A. Pastorello +55
Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) have been predominantly found in low-metallicity, star-forming dwarf galaxies. Here we identify Gaia17biu/SN 2017egm as an SLSN-I o…
Intra-night variability of the blazar CTA 102 during its 2012 and 2016 giant outbursts
R. Bachev, V. Popov, A. Strigachev +6
We obtained and analyzed more than 100 hours of multicolour optical time series of the blazar CTA 102 during its 2012 and 2016 outbursts. The object reached almost 11-th mag at the…
Gamma-ray and Optical Oscillations of 0716+714, MRK 421, and BL Lac
A. Sandrinelli, S. Covino, A. Treves +12
We examine the 2008-2016 -ray and optical light curves of three bright BL Lac objects, 0716+714, MRK 421, BL Lac, which exhibit large structured variability. We searched for per…
