Investigation of the correlation patterns and the Compton dominance variability of Mrk 421 in 2017

MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +284

We present a detailed characterisation and theoretical interpretation of the broadband emission of the paradigmatic TeV blazar Mrk 421, with special focus on the multi-band flux co…

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…

Multiwavelength behaviour of the blazar 3C279: decade-long study from -ray to radio

V. M. Larionov, S. G. Jorstad, A. P. Marscher +84

We report the results of decade-long (2008-2018) -ray to 1 GHz radio monitoring of the blazar 3C 279, including GASP/WEBT, and data, as well as polarim…

Investigating the multiwavelength behaviour of the flat spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017

F. D'Ammando, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +94

We present a multiwavelength study of the flat-spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017. We use radio-to-optical data obtained by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope, 15 GHz dat…

The beamed jet and quasar core of the distant blazar 4C 71.07

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +5

The object 4C 71.07 is a high-redshift blazar whose spectral energy distribution shows a prominent big blue bump and a strong Compton dominance. We present the results of a two-yea…

Blazar spectral variability as explained by a twisting inhomogeneous jet

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata

Blazar emission is dominated by non-thermal radiation from a relativistic jet pointing toward us, therefore undergoing Doppler beaming. This is responsible for flux enhancement and…
