Synchrotron emission from the blazar PG 1553+113. An analysis of its flux and polarization variability
C. M. Raiteri, F. Nicastro, A. Stamerra +4
In 2015 July 29 - September 1 the satellite XMM-Newton pointed at the BL Lac object PG 1553+133 six times, collecting data for 218 hours. During one of these epochs, simultaneous o…
Spectral variability of the 3C 390.3 nucleus for more than twenty years. I. Variability of the broad and narrow emission-line fluxes
S. G. Sergeev, S. V. Nazarov, G. A. Borman
We summarize results of the analysis of the optical variability of the continuum and emission-line fluxes in the 3C390.3 nucleus during 1992-2014. The [OIII]5007 flux increases mon…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project VI: reverberating Disk Models for NGC 5548
D. Starkey, Keith Horne, M. M. Fausnaugh +90
We conduct a multiwavelength continuum variability study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 to investigate the temperature structure of its accretion disk. The 19 overlapping continu…
Reverberation Mapping of Optical Emission Lines in Five Active Galaxies
M. M. Fausnaugh, C. J. Grier, M. C. Bentz +68
We present the first results from an optical reverberation mapping campaign executed in 2014, targeting the active galactic nuclei (AGN) MCG+08-11-011, NGC 2617, NGC 4051, 3C 382,…
Exceptional outburst of the blazar CTA 102 in 2012: The GASP-WEBT campaign and its extension
V. M. Larionov, M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri +49
After several years of quiescence, the blazar CTA 102 underwent an exceptional outburst in 2012 September-October. The flare was tracked from gamma-ray to near-infrared frequencies…
Polarization angle swings in blazars: The case of 3C 279
S. Kiehlmann, T. Savolainen, S. G. Jorstad +61
Over the past few years, several occasions of large, continuous rotations of the electric vector position angle (EVPA) of linearly polarized optical emission from blazars have been…
