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…
Multifrequency monitoring of the blazar 0716+714 during the GASP-WEBT-AGILE campaign of 2007
M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri, V. M. Larionov +5
Since the CGRO operation in 1991-2000, one of the primary unresolved questions about the blazar gamma-ray emission has been its possible correlation with the low-energy (in particu…
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…
Multi-frequency monitoring of gamma-ray loud blazars: I. Light curves and spectral energy distributions
U. Bach, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +23
Context: Being dominated by non-thermal emission from aligned relativistic jets, blazars allow us to elucidate the physics of extragalactic jets, and, ltimately, how the energy is…
