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…

AGILE detection of a rapid gamma-ray flare from the blazar PKS 1510-089 during the GASP-WEBT monitoring

F. D'Ammando, G. Pucella, C. M. Raiteri +103

We report the detection by the AGILE satellite of a rapid gamma-ray flare from the powerful gamma-ray quasar PKS 1510-089, during a pointing centered on the Galactic Center region…

Results of WEBT, VLBA and RXTE monitoring of 3C 279 during 2006-2007

V. M. Larionov, S. G. Jorstad, A. P. Marscher +2

We present radio-to-optical data taken by the WEBT, supplemented by VLBA and RXTE observations, of 3C 279. Our goal is to use this extensive database to draw inferences regarding t…

Optical and NIR Observations of the Afterglow of GRB 020813

S. Covino, D. Malesani, F. Tavecchio +28

We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry of the bright afterglow of GRB 020813. Our data span from 3 hours to 4 days after the GRB event. A rather sharp achromatic bre…

The identification of the optical/IR counterpart of the 29.5-s transient X-ray pulsar GS 1843+009

GianLuca Israel, Ignacio Negueruela, Sergio Campana +7

We report on the identification of the optical/IR counterpart of the 29.5-s transient X-ray pulsar GS 1843+009. We re-analysed an archival ROSAT HRI observation of GS 1843+009, obt…

The Optical Transient of GRB970228, 16 hours after the burst

F. Pedichini, A. Di Paola, L. Stella +13

Until recently the positions of gamma ray bursts were not sufficiently well known within a short timescale to localize and identify them with known celestial sources. Following the…
