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…
Tracking down the broadband polarimetric properties of PG 1553+113
Riccardo Middei, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +78
We report on a nine-month monitoring campaign of the blazar PG 1553+113, relying on three observations carried out in 2025 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and su…
Detection of optical quasi-periodic oscillation in the blazar 3C 454.3
Karan Dogra, Alok C. Gupta, C. M. Raiteri +83
We analyzed 19 years of -band data of the blazar 3C 454.3 from the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) archive, along with new data from its members and from public archives suc…
Multiwavelength quasi-periodic variability of the blazar Ton 599
Yu. V. Sotnikova, T. V. Mufakharov, A. E. Volvach +34
During the last 40-50 years, the TeV blazar Ton 599 has systematically experienced major outbursts detected in a wide wavelength range from radio to -rays. In this work, we pres…
Multiband optical variability on diverse timescales of the blazar Ton 599 from 2011 to 2023
O. Vince, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +72
(Shortened)Context: We analyze the optical variability of the FSRQ Ton 599 using BVRI photometry from the WEBT collaboration (2011-2023), complemented by photometric and spectrosco…
Polarization Studies in Different Blazar Types. Part I: Correlation between Optical Brightness and Polarization Degree
E. A. Shkodkina, S. S. Savchenko, D. A. Morozova +11
We present an analysis of the cross-correlation between optical brightness and polarization degree in different types of blazars. The aim is to identify objects with simultaneous a…
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…
The Method of Searching for Rotations of the Polarization Position Angle of Quasars
S. S. Savchenko, D. A. Morozova, S. G. Jorstad +11
Observations of quasars show that the polarization position angle of the emission coming from them varies greatly over time, including periods called rotations during which the ang…
Galaxies decomposition with spiral arms -- II: 29 galaxies from SG
Ilia V. Chugunov, Aleksandr V. Mosenkov, Alexander A. Marchuk +7
Spiral structure can occupy a significant part of the galaxy, but properly accounting for it in photometric decomposition is rarely done. This may lead to significant errors in the…
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…
