Quasi-simultaneous Optical Flux and Polarization Variability of the Binary Super Massive Black Hole Blazar OJ 287 from 2015 to 2023: Detection of an Anticorrelation in Flux and Polarization Variability
Alok C. Gupta, Pankaj Kushwaha, Mauri J. Valtonen +25
We study the optical flux and polarization variability of the binary black hole blazar OJ 287 using quasi-simultaneous observations from 2015 to 2023 carried out using telescopes i…
Investigating the origin of optical flares from the TeV blazar S4 0954+65
Ashwani Pandey, Rumen Bachev, Bozena Czerny +4
Aims. We aim to investigate the extreme variability properties of the TeV blazar S4 0954+65 using optical photometric and polarisation observations carried out between 2017 and 202…
Multi-year characterisation of the broad-band emission from the intermittent extreme BL Lac 1ES~2344+514
H. Abe, S. Abe, V. A. Acciari +232
The BL Lac 1ES 2344+514 is known for temporary extreme properties (e.g., a shift of the synchrotron SED peak energy above 1keV). While those extreme states were so fa…
Intra-night optical flux and polarization variability of BL~Lacertae during its 2020 2021 high state
Rumen Bachev, Tushar Tripathi, Alok C. Gupta +15
In this work, we report the presence of rapid intra-night optical variations in both -- flux and polarization of the blazar BL Lacertae during its unprecedented 2020--2021 high sta…
The `blazar sequence' in TeV band
Zhihao Ouyang, Hubing Xiao, Jianzhen Chen +7
The `blazar sequence' has been proposed for more than 20 years, yet its nature is still unclear. In this work, for the first time, we expand this topic to the TeV band by using a s…
Analysis of the intra-night variability of BL Lacertae during its August 2020 flare
Aditi Agarwal, B. Mihov, Vipul Agrawal +7
We present an analysis of the photometry of the blazar BL Lacertae on diverse timescales from mid-July to mid-September 2020. We have used 11 different optical telescopes ar…
The optical behaviour of BL Lacertae at its maximum brightness levels: a blend of geometry and energetics
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, S. G. Jorstad +13
In 2021 BL Lacertae underwent an extraordinary activity phase, which was intensively followed by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration. We present the WEBT optical…
