Flaring activity from magnetic reconnection in BL Lacertae

S. Agarwal, B. Banerjee, A. Shukla +7

The evolution of the spectral energy distribution during flares constrains models of particle acceleration in blazar jets. The archetypical blazar BL Lac provided a unique opportun…

The Fermi-LAT Light Curve Repository

S. Abdollahi, M. Ajello, L. Baldini +110

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) light curve repository (LCR) is a publicly available, continually updated library of gamma-ray light curves of variable Fermi-LAT sources gener…

Statistical properties of flux variations in blazar light curves at GeV and TeV energies

Sarah M. Wagner, Paul R. Burd, Daniela Dorner +23

Despite numerous detections of individual flares, the physical origin of the rapid variability observed from blazars remains uncertain. Using Bayesian blocks and the Eisenstein-Hut…

Southern African Large Telescope Spectroscopy of BL Lacs for the CTA project

E. Kasai, P. Goldoni, M. Backes +14

In the last two decades, very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy has reached maturity: over 200 sources have been detected, both Galactic and extragalactic, by ground-based experiment…

The first GeV flare of the radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy PKS 2004-447

Andrea Gokus, Vaidehi S. Paliya, Sarah M. Wagner +8

On 2019 October 25, the Fermi-Large Area Telescope observed the first gamma-ray flare from the radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy 1) galaxy PKS 2004447 (). We report…

Ornstein-Uhlenbeck parameter extraction from light curves of Fermi-LAT observed blazars

Paul R. Burd, Luca Kohlhepp, Sarah M. Wagner +3

Context. Monthly-binned gamma-ray light curves of 236 bright gamma-ray sources, particularly blazars, selected from a sample of 2278 high-galactic latitude objects observed with Fe…

Testing two-component models on very-high-energy gamma-ray emitting BL Lac objects

MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +201

Context. It has become evident that one-zone synchrotron self-Compton models are not always adequate for very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitting blazars. While two-component mode…

Unusual Flaring Activity in the Blazar PKS 1424-418 during 2008-2011

S. Buson, F. Longo, S. Larsson +24

Context. Blazars are a subset of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with jets that are oriented along our line of sight. Variability and spectral energy distribution (SED) studies are cr…

Long-term monitoring of PKS 0537-441 with Fermi-LAT and multiwavelength observations

F. D'Ammando, E. Antolini, G. Tosti +21

We report on multiwavelength observations of the blazar PKS 0537-441 (z = 0.896) obtained from microwaves through gamma rays by SMA, REM, ATOM, Swift and Fermi during 2008 August-2…

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…
