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…
