Two Flares with One Shock: the Interesting Case of 3C 454.3
I. Liodakis, D. Blinov, S. G. Jorstad +18
The quasar 3C 454.3 is a blazar known for its rapid and violent outbursts seen across the electromagnetic spectrum. Using gamma-ray, X-ray, multi-band optical, and very long baseli…
Unveiling the enigma of ATLAS17aeu
A. Melandri, A. Rossi, S. Benetti +42
Aim. The unusual transient ATLAS17aeu was serendipitously detected within the sky localisation of the gravitational wave trigger GW170104. The importance of a possible association…
Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger
E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81
The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…
Synchrotron emission from the blazar PG 1553+113. An analysis of its flux and polarization variability
C. M. Raiteri, F. Nicastro, A. Stamerra +4
In 2015 July 29 - September 1 the satellite XMM-Newton pointed at the BL Lac object PG 1553+133 six times, collecting data for 218 hours. During one of these epochs, simultaneous o…
Multifrequency Photo-polarimetric WEBT Observation Campaign on the Blazar S5 0716+714: Source Microvariability and Search for Characteristic Timescales
G. Bhatta, Ł. Stawarz, M. Ostrowski +43
Here we report on the results of the WEBT photo-polarimetric campaign targeting the blazar S5~0716+71, organized in March 2014 to monitor the source simultaneously in BVRI and near…
Exceptional outburst of the blazar CTA 102 in 2012: The GASP-WEBT campaign and its extension
V. M. Larionov, M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri +49
After several years of quiescence, the blazar CTA 102 underwent an exceptional outburst in 2012 September-October. The flare was tracked from gamma-ray to near-infrared frequencies…
