Optical spectroscopic classification of 35 hard X-ray sources from the Swift-BAT 70-month catalogue

E. J. Marchesini, N. Masetti, E. Palazzi +15

The nature of a substantial percentage (about one fifth) of hard X-ray sources discovered with the BAT instrument onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (hereafter Swift) is un…

The -ray sky seen at X-ray energies II: the Swift hunt of Fermi BL Lac objects among unidentified gamma-ray sources

E. J. Marchesini, A. Paggi, F. Massaro +3

Nearly 50% of all sources detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope are classified as blazars or blazar candidates, one of the most elusive classes of active galaxies. Additional…

The -ray sky seen at X-ray energies I. Searching for the connection between X-rays and -rays in Fermi BL Lac objects

E. J. Marchesini, A. Paggi, F. Massaro +4

BL Lac objects are an extreme type of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that belong to the largest population of -ray sources: blazars. This class of AGNs shows a double-bumped spec…

Optical spectroscopic observations of gamma-ray blazar candidates. X. Results from the 2018--2019 SOAR and OAN-SPM observations of blazar candidates of uncertain type

Raniere de Menezes, Raul A. Amaya-Almazán, Ezequiel J. Marchesini +14

The fourth Fermi Large Area Telescope Source Catalog (4FGL) lists over 5000 gamma-ray sources with statistical significance above 4. About 23% of the sources listed in this cata…

Optical spectroscopic observations of gamma-ray blazar candidates. IX. Optical archival spectra and further observations from SOAR and OAGH

H. A. Peña-Herazo, F. Massaro, V. Chavushyan +11

Nearly one-third of the sources in the -LAT catalogs lack a lower energy counterpart, hence being referred as unidentified/unassociated gamma-ray sources (UGSs). In order to…

The path to Z And-type outbursts: The case of V426 Sagittae (HBHA 1704-05)

A. Skopal, S. Yu. Shugarov, U. Munari +16

The star V426 Sge (HBHA~1704-05), originally classified as an emission-line object and a semi-regular variable, brightened at the beginning of August 2018, showing signatures of a…
