Multiwavelength Study of Quiescent States of Mrk 421 with Unprecedented Hard X-Ray Coverage Provided by NuSTAR in 2013
M. Baloković, D. Paneque, G. Madejski +305
We present coordinated multiwavelength observations of the bright, nearby BL Lac object Mrk 421 taken in 2013 January-March, involving GASP-WEBT, Swift, NuSTAR, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, V…
Kepler light curve analysis of the blazar W2R 1926+42
P. Mohan, Alok C. Gupta, R. Bachev +1
We study the long term Kepler light curve of the blazar W2R 1926+42 ( 1.6 years) which indicates a variety of variability properties during different intervals of observation…
Optical-NIR variability of blazars on diverse timescales
A. Agarwal, A. C. Gupta
To search for optical variability on a wide range of timescales, we have carried out photometric monitoring of 3C 454.3, 3C 279 and S5 0716+714. CCD magnitudes in B, V, R and I pas…
Multi-band optical variability of the Blazar S5 0716+714 in outburst state during 2014-2015
Aditi Agarwal, Alok C. Gupta, R. Bachev +7
We analyzed the multi-band optical behaviour of the BL Lacertae object, S5 0716+714, during its outburst state from 2014 November - 2015 March. We took data on 23 nights at three o…
First NuSTAR Observations of Mrk 501 within a Radio to TeV Multi-Instrument Campaign
A. Furniss, K. Noda, S. Boggs +273
We report on simultaneous broadband observations of the TeV-emitting blazar Markarian 501 between 1 April and 10 August 2013, including the first detailed characterization of the s…
The WEBT campaign on the BL Lac object PG 1553+113 in 2013. An analysis of the enigmatic synchrotron emission
C. M. Raiteri, A. Stamerra, M. Villata +2
A multifrequency campaign on the BL Lac object PG 1553+113 was organized by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) in 2013 April-August, involving 19 optical, two near-IR, and thr…
Optical and Radio Variability of BL Lacertae
Haritma Gaur, Alok C. Gupta, R. Bachev +17
We observed the prototype blazar, BL Lacertae, extensively in optical and radio bands during an active phase in the period 2010--2013 when the source showed several prominent outbu…
Nature of Intra-night Optical Variability of BL Lacertae
Haritma Gaur, Alok C. Gupta, R. Bachev +13
We present the results of extensive multi-band intra-night optical monitoring of BL Lacertae during 2010--2012. BL Lacertae was very active in this period and showed intense variab…
Discovery of a Highly Polarized Optical Microflare in the Blazar S5 0716+714 During 2014 WEBT Campaign
Gopal Bhatta, Arti Goyal, Michal Ostrowski +42
The occurrence of low-amplitude flux variations in blazars on hourly timescales, commonly known as microvariability, is still a widely debated subject in high-energy astrophysics.…
Multiwavelength behaviour of the blazar OJ 248 from radio to γ-rays
M. I. Carnerero, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +4
We present an analysis of the multiwavelength behaviour of the blazar OJ 248 at z = 0.939 in the period 2006-2013. We use low-energy data (optical, near-infrared, and radio) obtain…
A search for chaos in the optical light curve of a blazar: W2R 1926+42
Rumen Bachev, Banibrata Mukhopadhyay, Anton Strigachev
In this work we search for signatures of low-dimensional chaos in the temporal behavior of the Kepler-field blazar W2R 1946+42. We use a publicly available, ~160000 points long and…
