On the relationship between the ellipticity of Galactic globular clusters and their X-ray luminosity

Georgi P. Petrov, Svetoslav Botev, Antoniya Valcheva +1

We examine the dependence of the ellipticity of globular clusters in the Milky Way on their X-ray luminosity using two modern catalogs and combine them with optical and X-ray data…

Quasars behind the disk of M31 galaxy

P. Nedialkov, B. F. Williams, V. D. Ivanov +6

We aim to increase the limited number of quasars behind M31, necessary for probing the chemical content of the gas and for proper motion reference, with reliable and homogeneous re…

The optical behaviour of BL Lacertae at its maximum brightness levels: a blend of geometry and energetics

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, S. G. Jorstad +13

In 2021 BL Lacertae underwent an extraordinary activity phase, which was intensively followed by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration. We present the WEBT optical…

Photometric and spectroscopic analysis of LBV candidate J004341.84+411112.0 in M31

A. Sarkisyan, O. Sholukhova, S. Fabrika +4

We study Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) candidate J004341.84+411112.0 in the Andromeda galaxy. We present optical spectra of the object obtained with the 6-m telescope of SAO RAS. Th…

Periodic variability of the z=2.0 quasar QSO B1312+7837

M. Minev, V. D. Ivanov, T. Trifonov +6

We report here the first results from a 15-yr long variability monitoring of the z=2.0 quasar QSO B1312+7837. It shows luminosity changes with a period P~6.13 yr (P~2.04 yr at rest…
