Tracking optical variability and outflows across the accretion states of the black hole transient MAXI J1820+070

M. C. Baglio, K. Alabarta, D. M. Russell +10

We present a study of the minute-timescale optical variability and spectroscopic outflow signatures in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during its 2018 outburst and re-br…

Optical spectroscopic observations of gamma-ray blazar candidates. X. Results from the 2018--2019 SOAR and OAN-SPM observations of blazar candidates of uncertain type

Raniere de Menezes, Raul A. Amaya-Almazán, Ezequiel J. Marchesini +14

The fourth Fermi Large Area Telescope Source Catalog (4FGL) lists over 5000 gamma-ray sources with statistical significance above 4. About 23% of the sources listed in this cata…

Optical spectroscopic observations of gamma-ray blazar candidates. IX. Optical archival spectra and further observations from SOAR and OAGH

H. A. Peña-Herazo, F. Massaro, V. Chavushyan +11

Nearly one-third of the sources in the -LAT catalogs lack a lower energy counterpart, hence being referred as unidentified/unassociated gamma-ray sources (UGSs). In order to…

Authenticating the Presence of a Relativistic Massive Black Hole Binary in OJ 287 Using its General Relativity Centenary Flare: Improved Orbital Parameters

Lankeswar Dey, M. J. Valtonen, A. Gopakumar +5

Results from regular monitoring of relativistic compact binaries like PSR 1913+16 are consistent with the dominant (quadrupole) order emission of gravitational waves (GWs). We show…

The Gamma-ray Blazar Quest: new optical spectra, state of art and future perspectives

F. Massaro, N. Álvarez Crespo, R. D'Abrusco +13

We recently developed a procedure to recognize gamma-ray blazar candidates within the positional uncertainty regions of the unidentified/unassociated gamma-ray sources (UGSs). Such…

Optical archival spectra of blazar candidates of uncertain type in the 3 Fermi Large Area Telescope Catalog

N. Álvarez Crespo, F. Massaro, R. D'Abrusco +10

Despite the fact that blazars constitute the rarest class among active galactic nuclei (AGNs) they are the largest known population of associated -ray sources. Many of the -r…
