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…
Polarimetric and spectropolarimetric observations with FoReRo2: Instrument overview and standard star monitoring
Yanko Nikolov, Galin Borisov, Stefano Bagnulo +3
In this paper, we present a description and characterisation of the 2-Channel Focal Reducer Rozhen (FoReRo2), with an emphasis on its polarimetric and spectropolarimetric observati…
Optical Photometric Monitoring of the Blazar OT 355 and Local Standard Stars' Calibration
R. Bachev, Tushar Tripathi, Alok C. Gupta +11
OT 355 (4FGL J1734.3 + 3858) is a relatively rarely studied but highly variable, moderate-redshift (z = 0.975) flat-spectrum radio quasar (blazar). With this work, we aim to study…
Evolution of the optical emission lines and the X-ray emission during the super-active stage of T CrB
K. A. Stoyanov, G. J. M. Luna, R. K. Zamanov +6
T CrB is a symbiotic star that experiences nova outbursts every 80~yr. The next, long-anticipated nova outburst should occur during the 2024-2026 period. Here, we present re…
Transient and asymmetric dust structures in the TeV-bright nova RS Oph revealed by spectropolarimetry
Y. Nikolov, G. J. M. Luna, K. A. Stoyanov +4
A long-standing question related to nova eruptions is how these eruptions can lead to the formation of dust despite the ostensibly inhospitable environment for dust within the hot,…
Intra-night optical flux and polarization variability of BL~Lacertae during its 2020 2021 high state
Rumen Bachev, Tushar Tripathi, Alok C. Gupta +15
In this work, we report the presence of rapid intra-night optical variations in both -- flux and polarization of the blazar BL Lacertae during its unprecedented 2020--2021 high sta…
