Magnetic Field Amplification and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars
Xuhui Chen, Ritaban Chatterjee, Haocheng Zhang +10
We perform time-dependent, spatially-resolved simulations of blazar emission to evaluate several flaring scenarios related to magnetic-field amplification and enhanced particle acc…
The Contrasting Nature of Gamma-Ray/Optical Variability in the Blazar PKS 0208-512 During Successive Outbursts
Ritaban Chatterjee, G. Fossati, C. M. Urry +6
The Yale/SMARTS optical-near-IR monitoring program has followed the variations in emission of the Fermi-LAT monitored blazars in the southern sky with closely spaced observations s…
An Optical-Near-Infrared Outburst with No Accompanying Gamma-Rays in the Blazar PKS 0208-512
Ritaban Chatterjee, G. Fossati, C. M. Urry +6
We report the discovery of an anomalous flare in a bright blazar, namely, PKS 0208-512, one of the targets of the Yale/SMARTS optical-near-infrared (OIR) monitoring program of Ferm…
Multi-wavelength observations of blazar AO 0235+164 in the 2008-2009 flaring state
M. Ackermann, M. Ajello, J. Ballet +208
The blazar AO 0235+164 (z = 0.94) has been one of the most active objects observed by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) since its launch in Summer 2008. In addition to the continuou…
SMARTS optical and infrared monitoring of 12 gamma-ray bright blazars
E. W. Bonning, C. M. Urry, C. Bailyn +6
We present multiwavelength data for twelve blazars observed from 2008-2010 as part of an ongoing optical-infrared photometric monitoring project. Sources were selected to be bright…
Similarity of the Optical-IR and Gamma-Ray Time Variability of Fermi Blazars
Ritaban Chatterjee, C. Bailyn, E. W. Bonning +6
We present the time variability properties of a sample of six blazars, AO 0235+164, 3C 273, 3C 279, PKS 1510-089, PKS 2155-304, and 3C 454.3, at optical-IR as well as gamma-ray ene…
