The variability patterns of the TeV blazar PG 1553+113 from a decade of MAGIC and multi-band observations

MAGIC Collaboration, H. Abe, S. Abe +264

PG 1553+113 is one of the few blazars with a convincing quasi-periodic emission in the gamma-ray band. The source is also a very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter. To b…

Extreme photometric and polarimetric variability of blazar S4 0954+65 at its maximum optical and -ray brightness levels

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +64

In 2022 the BL Lac object S4 0954+65 underwent a major variability phase, reaching its historical maximum brightness in the optical and -ray bands. We present optical photometri…
