Multi-band optical photometric variability of the blazar OJ 287 from 2015 to 2025
Alok C. Gupta, Karan Dogra, Mark Kidger +101
We present the most densely sampled multi-band optical photometric observations of the peculiar BL Lacertae object OJ 287 from 2015 to 2025 with a focus on its optical activity on…
Optical Photometric Monitoring of the Blazar OT 355 and Local Standard Stars' Calibration
R. Bachev, Tushar Tripathi, Alok C. Gupta +11
OT 355 (4FGL J1734.3 + 3858) is a relatively rarely studied but highly variable, moderate-redshift (z = 0.975) flat-spectrum radio quasar (blazar). With this work, we aim to study…
Intra-night optical flux and polarization variability of BL~Lacertae during its 2020 2021 high state
Rumen Bachev, Tushar Tripathi, Alok C. Gupta +15
In this work, we report the presence of rapid intra-night optical variations in both -- flux and polarization of the blazar BL Lacertae during its unprecedented 2020--2021 high sta…
Intra-night variability of the blazar CTA 102 during its 2012 and 2016 giant outbursts
R. Bachev, V. Popov, A. Strigachev +6
We obtained and analyzed more than 100 hours of multicolour optical time series of the blazar CTA 102 during its 2012 and 2016 outbursts. The object reached almost 11-th mag at the…
Optical-NIR variability of blazars on diverse timescales
A. Agarwal, A. C. Gupta
To search for optical variability on a wide range of timescales, we have carried out photometric monitoring of 3C 454.3, 3C 279 and S5 0716+714. CCD magnitudes in B, V, R and I pas…
The nature of the intra-night optical variability in blazars
R. Bachev, E. Semkov, A. Strigachev +5
In this paper we present results of a short-term optical monitoring of 13 blazars. The objects were monitored mostly in the R-band for a total of ~ 160 hours between 2006 and 2011.…
