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 high activity of 3C 454.3 in autumn 2007. Monitoring by the WEBT during the AGILE detection
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, W. P. Chen +5
The quasar-type blazar 3C 454.3 underwent a phase of high activity in summer and autumn 2007, which was intensively monitored in the radio-to-optical bands by the Whole Earth Blaza…
Radio-to-UV monitoring of AO 0235+164 by the WEBT and Swift during the 2006--2007 outburst
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, V. M. Larionov +2
The blazar AO 0235+164 was claimed to show a quasi-periodic behaviour in the radio and optical bands. Moreover, an extra emission component contributing to the UV and soft X-ray fl…
The WEBT Campaign on the Blazar 3C279 in 2006
M. Boettcher
The quasar 3C279 was the target of an extensive multiwavelength monitoring campaign from January through April 2006, including an optical-IR-radio monitoring campaign by the Whole…
Multifrequency variability of the blazar AO 0235+164. The WEBT campaign in 2004-2005 and long-term SED analysis
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. Kadler +3
A huge multiwavelength campaign targeting the blazar AO 0235+164 was organized by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) in 2003-2005 to study the variability properties of the so…
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…
