Multiband variability studies and novel broadband SED modeling of Mrk 501 in 2009

M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +290

We present an extensive study of the BL Lac object Mrk 501 based on a data set collected during the multi-instrument campaign spanning from 2009 March 15 to 2009 August 1 which inc…

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…

Polarization angle swings in blazars: The case of 3C 279

S. Kiehlmann, T. Savolainen, S. G. Jorstad +61

Over the past few years, several occasions of large, continuous rotations of the electric vector position angle (EVPA) of linearly polarized optical emission from blazars have been…
