The long-lasting activity of 3C 454.3. GASP-WEBT and satellite observations in 2008-2010

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. F. Aller +6

We present multiwavelength observations of 3C 454.3 from April 2008 to March 2010. The radio to optical data are mostly from the GASP-WEBT, UV and X-ray data from Swift, and gamma-…

Flaring Behavior of the Quasar 3C~454.3 across the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher, Valeri M. Larionov +29

We analyze the behavior of the parsec-scale jet of the quasar 3C~454.3 during pronounced flaring activity in 2005-2008. Three major disturbances propagated down the jet along diffe…

A third red supergiant rich cluster in the Scutum-Crux Arm

J. S. Clark, I. Negueruela, B. Davies +6

We aim to characterise the properties of a third massive, red supergiant dominated galactic cluster. To accomplish this we utilised a combination of near/mid-IR photometry and spec…

Near Infrared Spectroscopic Monitoring of EXor variables: First Results

D. Lorenzetti, V. M. Larionov, T. Giannini +4

We present low resolution (R approximately 250) spectroscopy in the near-IR (0.8 to 2.5um) of the EXor variables. These are the initial results (obtained during the period 2007-200…
