The X-ray Spectrum and Spectral Energy Distribution of FIRST J155633.8+351758: a LoBAL Quasar with a Probable Polar Outflow

Robert C. Berrington, Michael S. Brotherton, Sarah C. Gallagher +8

We report the results of a new 60 ks Chandra X-ray Observatory Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer S-array (ACIS-S) observation of the reddened, radio-selected, highly polarized `FeL…

Magnetic Field Amplification and Blazar Flares

Xuhui Chen, Ritaban Chatterjee, Giovanni Fossati +1

Recent multiwavelength observations of PKS 0208-512 by SMARTS, Fermi, and Swift revealed that gamma-ray and optical light curves of this flat spectrum radio quasars are highly corr…

Implications of the Anomalous Outburst in the Blazar PKS 0208-512

Ritaban Chatterjee, Krzysztof Nalewajko, Adam D. Myers

The flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS 0208-512 underwent three outbursts at the optical-near-infrared (OIR) wavelengths during 2008-2011. The second OIR outburst did not have a…

The Contrasting Nature of Gamma-Ray/Optical Variability in the Blazar PKS 0208-512 During Successive Outbursts

Ritaban Chatterjee, G. Fossati, C. M. Urry +6

The Yale/SMARTS optical-near-IR monitoring program has followed the variations in emission of the Fermi-LAT monitored blazars in the southern sky with closely spaced observations s…
