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…

First detection of VHE gamma-ray signal from the FSRQ TON 0599

MAGIC Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +245

TON\,0599 (z=0.7247) belongs to the few flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) detected in the very high energy (VHE, \,GeV) gamma-ray band. Its redshift makes it currently o…

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…

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…
