The WEBT Campaign on the Intermediate BL Lac Object 3C66A in 2007-2008

M. Boettcher, K. Fultz

Prompted by a high optical state in September 2007, the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) consortium organized an intensive optical, near-IR (JHK) and radio observing campaign on…

A new activity phase of the blazar 3C 454.3. Multifrequency observations by the WEBT and XMM-Newton in 2007-2008

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, V. M. Larionov +2

We present and analyse the WEBT multifrequency observations of 3C 454.3 in the 2007-2008 observing season, including XMM-Newton observations and near-IR spectroscopic monitoring, a…

EK Eridani: the tip of the iceberg of giants which have evolved from magnetic Ap stars

M. Aurière, R. Konstantinova-Antova, P. Petit +8

We observe the slowly-rotating, active, single giant, EK Eri, to study and infer the nature of its magnetic field directly. We used the spectropolarimeter NARVAL at the Telescope B…

BV photometry of a possible open star cluster pair NGC 7031/NGC 7086

Valentin Kopchev, Georgy Petrov

We present a CCD BV photometry of the possible binary open star cluster NGC 7031/NGC 7086. The aim is to confirm or disprove their common nature on the grounds of their age and dis…

Rotational velocities of the giants in symbiotic stars: III. Evidence of fast rotation in S-type symbiotics

R. K. Zamanov, M. F. Bode, C. H. F. Melo +5

We have measured the projected rotational velocities (vsini) in a number of symbiotic stars and M giants using high resolution spectroscopic observations. On the basis of our measu…

Wind structure of late B supergiants I. Multi-line analyses of near-surface and wind structure in HD 199 478 (B8 Iae)

N. Markova, R. Prinja, H. Markov +4

We provide a quantitative analysis of time-variable phenomena in the photospheric, near-star, and outflow regions of the late-B supergiant (SG) HD 199478. The analysis is based pri…

The high activity of 3C 454.3 in autumn 2007. Monitoring by the WEBT during the AGILE detection

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, W. P. Chen +5

The quasar-type blazar 3C 454.3 underwent a phase of high activity in summer and autumn 2007, which was intensively monitored in the radio-to-optical bands by the Whole Earth Blaza…

The orbital and physical parameters of the eclipsing binary OW Gemiorum

C. Gałan, M. Mikołajewski, T. Tomov +5

We present our multicolour photometric data of the primary and secondary eclipses of OW Gem that took place in 1995, 2002, and 2006, as well as the new radial-velocity data collect…

Optical monitoring of the z=4.40 quasar Q 2203+292

E. P. Ovcharov, P. L. Nedialkov, A. T. Valcheva +5

We report Cousins R-band monitoring of the high-redshift (z=4.40) radio quiet quasar Q 2203+292 from May 1999 to October 2007. The quasar shows maximum peak-to-peak light curve amp…

Radio-to-UV monitoring of AO 0235+164 by the WEBT and Swift during the 2006--2007 outburst

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, V. M. Larionov +2

The blazar AO 0235+164 was claimed to show a quasi-periodic behaviour in the radio and optical bands. Moreover, an extra emission component contributing to the UV and soft X-ray fl…
