Multi-band optical photometric variability of the blazar OJ 287 from 2015 to 2025
Alok C. Gupta, Karan Dogra, Mark Kidger +101
We present the most densely sampled multi-band optical photometric observations of the peculiar BL Lacertae object OJ 287 from 2015 to 2025 with a focus on its optical activity on…
Multiwavelength Variability Analysis of the Blazar PKS 0727-11: A 168 Days Quasi-periodic Oscillation in Gamma-ray
Yuncai Shen, Tingfeng Yi, Vinit Dhiman +2
We performed variability analysis of the multiwavelength light curves for the flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 0727-11. Using the generalized Lomb-Scargle periodogram, we identified…
Optical intra-day variability of the blazar S5 0716+714
Tushar Tripathi, Alok C. Gupta, Ali Takey +18
We present an extensive recent multi-band optical photometric observations of the blazar S5 0716+714 carried out over 53 nights with two telescopes in India, two in Bulgaria, one i…
Multi-band optical variability on diverse timescales of the TeV blazar TXS 0506+56, the first cosmic neutrino source
Vinit Dhiman, Alok C. Gupta, Rumen Bachev +9
We report the first extensive optical flux and spectral variability study of the TeV blazar TXS 0506+056 on intra-night to long-term timescales using BVRI data collected over 220 n…
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 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…
Multi-band Optical Variability of the TeV Blazar PG 1553+113 in 2019
Vinit Dhiman, Alok C. Gupta, Sofia O. Kurtanidze +20
We report the flux and spectral variability of PG 1553+113 on intra-night (IDV) to short-term timescales using BVRI data collected over 91 nights from 28 February to 8 November 201…
X-ray intraday variability of the TeV blazar Mrk 421 with {\it XMM-Newton}
A Priyana Noel, Haritma Gaur, Alok C. Gupta +4
Highly variable Markarian 421 is a bright high synchrotron energy peaked blazar showing wide featureless non-thermal spectrum making it a good candidate for our study of intraday f…
Multi-band Variability of the TeV Blazar PG 1553+113 with XMM-Newton
Vinit Dhiman, Alok C. Gupta, Haritma Gaur +1
We present variability analyses of twenty pointed XMM-Newton observations of the high energy peaked TeV blazar PG 1553+113 taken during 2010 to 2018. We found intraday variability…
The dual nature of blazar fast variability. Space and ground observations of S5 0716+714
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, D. Carosati +39
Blazar S5 0716+714 is well-known for its short-term variability, down to intra-day time-scales. We here present the 2-min cadence optical light curve obtained by the TESS space tel…
Multi-Wavelength Variability of BL Lacertae Measured with High Time Resolution
Zachary R. Weaver, K. E. Williamson, S. G. Jorstad +54
In an effort to locate the sites of emission at different frequencies and physical processes causing variability in blazar jets, we have obtained high time-resolution observations…
