Robopol: Optical polarisation monitoring of blazars
Emmanouil Angelakis, Dmitry Blinov, Markus Böttcher +5
The RoboPol program has been monitoring the -band linear polarisation parameters of an unbiased sample of 60 gamma-ray-loud blazars and a "control" sample of 15 gamma-ray-quite…
Optical polarization of high-energy BL Lac objects
T. Hovatta, E. Lindfors, D. Blinov +9
We investigate the optical polarization properties of high-energy BL Lac objects using data from the RoboPol blazar monitoring program and the Nordic Optical Telescope. We wish to…
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…
Long-term multi-wavelength variability and correlation study of Markarian 421 from 2007 to 2009
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +176
We study the multi-band variability and correlations of the TeV blazar Mrk 421 on year time scales, which can bring additional insight on the processes responsible for its broadban…
