The WEBT Campaign on the Intermediate BL Lac Object 3C66A in 2007-2008
M. Boettcher, K. Fultz
Prompted by a high optical state in September 2007, the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) consortium organized an intensive optical, near-IR (JHK) and radio observing campaign on…
A massive binary black-hole system in OJ287 and a test of general relativity
M. J. Valtonen, H. J. Lehto, K. Nilsson +23
Tests of Einstein's general theory of relativity have mostly been carried out in weak gravitational fields where the space-time curvature effects are first-order deviations from Ne…
Detection of the host galaxy of S5 0716+714
K. Nilsson, T. Pursimo, A. Sillanpää +2
We have acquired a deep i-band image of the BL Lacertae object S5 0716+714 while the target was in an low optical state. Due to the faintness of the nucleus, we were able to detect…
The high activity of 3C 454.3 in autumn 2007. Monitoring by the WEBT during the AGILE detection
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, W. P. Chen +5
The quasar-type blazar 3C 454.3 underwent a phase of high activity in summer and autumn 2007, which was intensively monitored in the radio-to-optical bands by the Whole Earth Blaza…
Clustering environment of BL Lac object RGB 1745+398
H. Lietzen, K. Nilsson, L. O. Takalo +4
The BL Lac object RGB 1745+398 lies in an environment that makes it possible to study the cluster around it more deeply than the environments of other BL Lac objects. The cluster c…
Multifrequency monitoring of the blazar 0716+714 during the GASP-WEBT-AGILE campaign of 2007
M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri, V. M. Larionov +5
Since the CGRO operation in 1991-2000, one of the primary unresolved questions about the blazar gamma-ray emission has been its possible correlation with the low-energy (in particu…
