Time delay between images of the lensed quasar UM673

E. Koptelova, W. P. Chen, T. Chiueh +11

We study brightness variations in the double lensed quasar UM673 (Q0142-100) with the aim of measuring the time delay between its two images. In the paper we combine our previously…

The long-lasting activity of 3C 454.3. GASP-WEBT and satellite observations in 2008-2010

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. F. Aller +6

We present multiwavelength observations of 3C 454.3 from April 2008 to March 2010. The radio to optical data are mostly from the GASP-WEBT, UV and X-ray data from Swift, and gamma-…

Another look at the BL Lacertae flux and spectral variability

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, L. Bruschini +52

The GLAST-AGILE Support Program (GASP) of the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) monitored BL Lacertae in 2008-2009 at radio, near-IR, and optical frequencies. During this period,…

A change in the optical polarization associated with a gamma-ray flare in the blazar 3C 279

LAT Collaboration, members of the 3C 279 multi-band campaign

It is widely accepted that strong and variable radiation detected over all accessible energy bands in a number of active galaxies arises from a relativistic, Doppler-boosted jet po…

The Spectral Energy Distribution of Fermi bright blazars

A. A. Abdo, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +107

(Abridged) We have conducted a detailed investigation of the broad-band spectral properties of the γ-ray selected blazars of the Fermi LAT Bright AGN Sample (LBAS). By combining ou…

The GASP-WEBT monitoring of 3C 454.3 during the 2008 optical-to-radio and gamma-ray outburst

M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri, M. A. Gurwell +6

Since 2001, the radio quasar 3C 454.3 has undergone a period of high optical activity, culminating in the brightest optical state ever observed, during the 2004-2005 outburst. The…
