A Consolidated Framework of the Color Variability in Blazars: Long-Term Optical/Near-Infrared Observations of 3C 279
Jedidah C. Isler, C. Megan Urry, Paolo Coppi +5
We evaluate the optical/near-infrared (OIR) color variability of 3C 279 in both gamma-ray flaring and non-flaring states over 7-year timescales using the Small and Medium Aperture…
The Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey: Variable Object Selection and Anticipated Results
Eric Morganson, Paul J. Green, Scott F. Anderson +37
We present the selection algorithm and anticipated results for the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS). TDSS is an SDSS-IV eBOSS subproject that will provide initial identifica…
The SMARTS Multi-epoch Optical Spectroscopy Atlas (SAMOSA): Using Emission Line Variability to Probe the Location of the Blazar Gamma-emitting Region
Jedidah C. Isler, C. M. Urry, C. Bailyn +6
We present multi-epoch optical spectroscopy of seven southern Fermi-monitored blazars from 2008 - 2013 using the Small and Medium Aperture Research Telescope System (SMARTS), with…
Magnetic Field Amplification and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars
Xuhui Chen, Ritaban Chatterjee, Haocheng Zhang +10
We perform time-dependent, spatially-resolved simulations of blazar emission to evaluate several flaring scenarios related to magnetic-field amplification and enhanced particle acc…
The far emission region of the gamma-ray blazar PKS B1424-418
F. Tavecchio, L. Pacciani, I. Donnarumma +4
We report multi-wavelength (IR-O, UV, X-ray, gamma-ray) data of the flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS B1424-418 (z=1.52) gathered during an active phase in 2013 April . As for…
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…
