Multiband Optical Variability of the Blazar 3C 454.3 on Diverse Timescales

Karan Dogra, Alok C. Gupta, C. M. Raiteri +79

Due to its peculiar and highly variable nature, the blazar 3C 454.3 has been extensively monitored by the WEBT team. Here, we present for the first time these long-term optical flu…

Multi-wavelength picture of the misaligned BL Lac object 3C 371

J. Otero-Santos, C. M. Raiteri, A. Tramacere +52

The BL Lac object 3C 371 is one of the targets that are regularly monitored by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration to study blazar variability on both short and l…

A wiggling filamentary jet at the origin of the blazar multi-wavelength behaviour

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +96

Blazars are beamed active galactic nuclei known for their strong multi-wavelength variability on timescales from years down to minutes. We aim to investigate the suitability of the…

X-ray and multiwavelength polarization of Mrk 501 from 2022 to 2023

Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +143

We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk~501 over a 14-month period. The 2--8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Pola…

Optical circular polarization of blazar S4 0954+65 during high linear polarized states

I. Liodakis, E. Shablovinskaya, D. Blinov +17

Optical circular polarization observations can directly test the particle composition in black holes jets. Here we report on the first observations of the BL Lac type object S4 095…

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…
