Extreme photometric and polarimetric variability of blazar S4 0954+65 at its maximum optical and -ray brightness levels

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +64

In 2022 the BL Lac object S4 0954+65 underwent a major variability phase, reaching its historical maximum brightness in the optical and -ray bands. We present optical photometri…

Multiwavelength behaviour of the blazar 3C279: decade-long study from -ray to radio

V. M. Larionov, S. G. Jorstad, A. P. Marscher +84

We report the results of decade-long (2008-2018) -ray to 1 GHz radio monitoring of the blazar 3C 279, including GASP/WEBT, and data, as well as polarim…

Photometric rotation periods for 107 M dwarfs from the APACHE survey

P. Giacobbe, M. Benedetto, M. Damasso +13

We present rotation period measurements for 107 M dwarfs in the mass range observed within the context of the APACHE photometric survey. We measure rotation per…

Investigating the multiwavelength behaviour of the flat spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017

F. D'Ammando, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +94

We present a multiwavelength study of the flat-spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017. We use radio-to-optical data obtained by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope, 15 GHz dat…

The beamed jet and quasar core of the distant blazar 4C 71.07

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +5

The object 4C 71.07 is a high-redshift blazar whose spectral energy distribution shows a prominent big blue bump and a strong Compton dominance. We present the results of a two-yea…

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…
