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…
The awakening of BL Lacertae: observations by Fermi, Swift, and the GASP-WEBT
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, F. D'Ammando +4
Since the launch of the Fermi satellite, BL Lacertae has been moderately active at gamma-rays and optical frequencies until May 2011, when the source started a series of strong fla…
A Tight Connection between Gamma-Ray Outbursts and Parsec-Scale Jet Activity in the Quasar 3C 454.3
Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher, Paul S. Smith +42
We analyze the multifrequency behavior of the quasar 3C 454.3 during three prominent γ-ray outbursts: 2009 Autumn, 2010 Spring, and 2010 Autumn. The data reveal a repeating pattern…
