Optical and Near-Infrared Polarimetry for a Highly Dormant Comet 209P/LINEAR
Daisuke Kuroda, Masateru Ishiguro, Makoto Watanabe +24
We conducted an optical and near-infrared polarimetric observation of the highly dormant Jupiter-Family Comet, 209P/LINEAR. Because of its low activity, we were able to determine t…
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.…
The Accreting Black Hole Swift J1753.5-0127 from Radio to Hard X-Ray
John A. Tomsick, Farid Rahoui, Mari Kolehmainen +19
(abridged) We report on multi-wavelength measurements of Swift J1753.5-0127 in the hard state at L=2.7e36 erg/s (assuming d=3 kpc) in 2014. The radio emission is optically thick sy…
OISTER Optical and Near-Infrared Observations of Type Iax Supernova 2012Z
Masayuki Yamanaka, Keiichi Maeda, Koji S. Kawabata +30
We report observations of the Type Iax supernova (SN Iax) 2012Z at optical and near-infrared wavelengths from immediately after the explosion until days after the maxi…
Probing the nature of the TeV gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057 by monitoring Be disk variability
Yuki Moritani, Atsuo T. Okazaki, Alex C. Carciofi +9
We report on monitoring observations of the TeV gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057, which were carried out to constrain the interaction between the Be circumstellar disk and the compa…
Rapid Variability of Blazar 3C 279 during Flaring States in 2013-2014 with Joint Fermi-LAT, NuSTAR, Swift, and Ground-Based Multi-wavelength Observations
M. Hayashida, K. Nalewajko, G. M. Madejski +49
We report the results of a multi-band observing campaign on the famous blazar 3C 279 conducted during a phase of increased activity from 2013 December to 2014 April, including firs…
