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…

Optical Emission and Particle Acceleration in a Quasi-Stationary Component in the Jet of OJ~287

Mahito Sasada, Svetlana Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +12

We analyze the linear polarization of the relativistic jet in BL Lacertae object OJ~287 as revealed by multi-epoch Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) images at 43 GHz and monitoring o…

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…

Comprehensive Monitoring of Gamma-ray Bright Blazars. I. Statistical Study of Optical, X-ray, and Gamma-ray Spectral Slopes

Karen E. Williamson, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +21

We present -ray, X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared light curves of 33 -ray bright blazars over four years that we have been monitoring since 2008 August with mul…

Emission from Hot Dust in the Infrared Spectra of Gamma-ray Bright Blazars

Michael Malmrose, Alan Marscher, Svetlana Jorstad +2

A possible source of -ray photons observed from the jets of blazars is inverse Compton scattering by relativistic electrons of infrared seed photons from a hot, dusty torus in t…
