Simultaneous X-ray and infrared variability in the quasar 3C273 II: Confirmation of the correlation and X-ray lag

Ian McHardy, Anthony Lawson, Andrew Newsam +4

The X-ray emission from quasars such as 3C273 is generally agreed to arise from Compton scattering of low energy seed photons by relativistic electrons in a relativistic jet orient…

Day-Scale Variability of 3C 279 and Searches for Correlations in Gamma-Ray, X-Ray, and Optical Bands

R. C. Hartman, M. Villata, T. J. Balonek +36

Light curves of 3C 279 are presented in optical (R-band), X-rays (RXTE/PCA), and gamma rays (CGRO/EGRET) for 1999 Jan-Feb and 2000 Jan-Mar. During both of those epochs the gamma-ra…

Simultaneous X-ray and infrared variability in the quasar 3C273

Ian McHardy, Anthony Lawson, Andrew Newsam +3

From a combination of high quality X-ray observations from the NASA Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), and infrared observations from the UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) we show tha…

Constraints on a soft X-ray excess in the quasar 3C 279

A. J. Lawson, I. M. McHardy

We present the results of a three-week daily monitoring campaign on the quasar 3C 279 by the X-ray satellites RXTE and ROSAT. A cross correlation provides no evidence for any time…

Multiwavelength Observations of a Dramatic High Energy Flare in the Blazar 3C 279

A. E. Wehrle, E. Pian, C. M. Urry +3

The blazar 3C 279, one of the brightest identified extragalactic objects in the gamma-ray sky, underwent a flare of a factor 10 amplitude in gamma-rays towards the end of a 3-week…
