The results of 8-year R-band photopolarimetric data of blazar Mrk 421 collected from February 2008 to May 2016 are presented, along with extensive multiwavelength observations cove…
Polarization angle swings in blazars: The case of 3C 279
S. Kiehlmann, T. Savolainen, S. G. Jorstad +61
Over the past few years, several occasions of large, continuous rotations of the electric vector position angle (EVPA) of linearly polarized optical emission from blazars have been…
Rotation of the optical polarization angle associated with the 2008 γ-ray flare of blazar w comae
Marco Sorcia, Erika Benítez, David Hiriart +3
An --band photopolarimetric variability analysis of the TeV bright blazar W Comae, between 2008 February 28 and 2013 May 17, is presented. The source showed a gradual tendency t…
Analyzing polarization swings in 3C 279
S. Kiehlmann, T. Savolainen, S. G. Jorstad +53
Quasar 3C 279 is known to exhibit episodes of optical polarization angle rotation. We present new, well-sampled optical polarization data for 3C 279 and introduce a method to disti…
Long-term optical polarization variability of the tev blazar 1es~1959+650
Marco Sorcia, Erika Benítez, David Hiriart +7
A detailed analysis of the optical polarimetric variability of the TeV blazar 1ES 1959+650 from 2007 October 18 to 2011 May 5 is presented. The source showed a maximum and minimum…
A hydrodynamical model for the FERMI-LAT gamma-ray light curve of Blazar PKS1510-089
J. I. Cabrera, Y. Coronado, E. Benitez +3
A physical description of the formation and propagation of the working surface inside the relativistic jet of the Blazar PKS 1510-089 are used to model its gamma-ray variability li…
Multi-wavelength Observations of the Flaring Gamma-ray Blazar 3C 66A in 2008 October
LAT collaboration, A. A. Abdo et al., the VERITAS collaboration +4
The BL Lacertae object 3C 66A was detected in a flaring state by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and VERITAS in 2008 October. In addition to these gamma-ray observations, F-GA…
