Spectral Energy Distribution variation in BL Lacs and FSRQs

Bindu Rani, Alok C. Gupta, R. Bachev +9

We present the results of our study of spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of a sample of ten low- to intermediate-synchrotron-peaked blazars. We investigate some of the physical…

Optical Intraday Variability Studies of Ten Low Energy Peaked Blazars

Bindu Rani, Alok C. Gupta, U. C. Joshi +2

We have carried out optical (R band) intraday variability (IDV) monitoring of a sample of ten bright low energy peaked blazars (LBLs). Forty photometric observations, of an average…

Variability of the Spectral Energy Distribution of the Blazar S5 0716+714

B. Rani, Alok C. Gupta, Paul J. Wiita

The emission from blazars is known to be variable at all wavelengths. The flux variability is often accompanied by spectral changes. Spectral energy distribution (SED) changes must…

Quasi-Periodic Oscillations of ~ 15 minutes in the Optical Light Curve of the BL Lac S5 0716+714

Bindu Rani, Alok C. Gupta, U. C. Joshi +2

Over the course of three hours on 27 December 2008 we obtained optical (R-band) observations of the blazar S5 0716+714 at a very fast cadence of 10 s. Using several different techn…

Short Term Flux and Colour Variations in Low-Energy Peaked Blazars

Bindu Rani, Alok C. Gupta, A. Strigachev +11

We have measured multi-band optical flux and colour variations for a sample of 12 low energy peaked blazars on short, day-to-month, timescales. Our sample contains six BL Lacertae…

Nearly Periodic Fluctuations in the Long Term X-ray Light Curves of the Blazars AO 0235+164 and 1ES 2321+419

Bindu Rani, Paul J. Wiita, Alok C. Gupta

We have performed a structure function analysis of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All Sky Monitor data to search for variability in 24 blazars using data trains that each exceed 1…
