VHE gamma-ray intranight variability from BL Lacertae during the extreme flaring state of 2022
K. Abe, S. Abe, A. Abhishek +297
BL Lacertae (BL Lac), the archetypal blazar of its subclass and one of the most studied blazars in the last decades, has undergone a series of major multi-wavelength outbursts sinc…
Polarisation angle variability in tidal disruption events
A. Floris, I. Liodakis, K. I. I. Koljonen +9
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star is disrupted by the tidal forces of a supermassive black hole, and these events produce bright multi-wavelength flares. Polarimetri…
Polarimetric Diversity in Tidal Disruption Events: Comparative Study of Low-Polarised sources with AT2020mot
A. Floris, I. Liodakis, K. I. I. Koljonen +13
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star is disrupted by the tidal forces of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), producing bright multi-wavelength flares. Among these events,…
The polarisation behaviour of OJ 287 viewed through radio, millimetre and optical observations between 2015 and 2017
J. Jormanainen, T. Hovatta, E. Lindfors +13
OJ 287 is a bright blazar with century-long observations, and one of the strongest candidates to host a supermassive black hole binary. Its polarisation behaviour between 2015 and…
Distance estimation of gamma-ray emitting BL Lac objects from imaging observations
K. Nilsson, V. Fallah Ramazani, E. Lindfors +13
Direct redshift determination of BL Lac objects is highly challenging as the emission in the optical and near-infrared (NIR) bands is largely dominated by the non-thermal emission…
The awakening of BL Lacertae: observations by Fermi, Swift, and the GASP-WEBT
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, F. D'Ammando +4
Since the launch of the Fermi satellite, BL Lacertae has been moderately active at gamma-rays and optical frequencies until May 2011, when the source started a series of strong fla…
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-…
The first Fermi multifrequency campaign on BL Lacertae: characterizing the low-activity state of the eponymous blazar
A. A. Abdo
We report on observations of BL Lacertae during the first 18 months of Fermi-LAT science operations and present results from a 48-day multifrequency coordinated campaign from 2008…
Simultaneous Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 421 During Outburst
The VERITAS Collaboration, I. de la Calle Perez, A. Ibarra +2
We report on the results of two coordinated multiwavelength campaigns that focused on the blazar Markarian 421 during its 2006 and 2008 outbursts. These campaigns obtained UV and X…
The June 2008 flare of Markarian 421 from optical to TeV energies
R. M. Wagner, I. Donnarumma, J. Grube +6
We present optical to very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421 between 2008 May 24 and June 23. A high-energy (HE) gamma-ray signal was detected by AGILE-GRID durin…
The June 2008 flare of Markarian 421 from optical to TeV energies
The Agile Collaboration, Webt Collaboration, Magic Collaboration +2
We present optical, X-ray, high energy ( GeV) and very high energy ( GeV; VHE) observations of the high-frequency peaked blazar Mrk 421 taken betwee…
A new activity phase of the blazar 3C 454.3. Multifrequency observations by the WEBT and XMM-Newton in 2007-2008
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, V. M. Larionov +2
We present and analyse the WEBT multifrequency observations of 3C 454.3 in the 2007-2008 observing season, including XMM-Newton observations and near-IR spectroscopic monitoring, a…
The unprecedented optical outburst of the quasar 3C 454.3. The WEBT campaign of 2004-2005
M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri, T. J. Balonek
The radio quasar 3C 454.3 underwent an exceptional optical outburst lasting more than 1 year and culminating in spring 2005. The maximum brightness detected was R = 12.0, which rep…
The WEBT BL Lacertae Campaign 2001 and its extension
M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri
BL Lacertae has been the target of four observing campaigns by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) collaboration. In this paper we present light curves obtained by the…
