Synchrotron emission from the blazar PG 1553+113. An analysis of its flux and polarization variability
C. M. Raiteri, F. Nicastro, A. Stamerra +4
In 2015 July 29 - September 1 the satellite XMM-Newton pointed at the BL Lac object PG 1553+133 six times, collecting data for 218 hours. During one of these epochs, simultaneous o…
Spectral variability of the 3C 390.3 nucleus for more than twenty years. I. Variability of the broad and narrow emission-line fluxes
S. G. Sergeev, S. V. Nazarov, G. A. Borman
We summarize results of the analysis of the optical variability of the continuum and emission-line fluxes in the 3C390.3 nucleus during 1992-2014. The [OIII]5007 flux increases mon…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project VI: reverberating Disk Models for NGC 5548
D. Starkey, Keith Horne, M. M. Fausnaugh +90
We conduct a multiwavelength continuum variability study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 to investigate the temperature structure of its accretion disk. The 19 overlapping continu…
Reverberation Mapping of Optical Emission Lines in Five Active Galaxies
M. M. Fausnaugh, C. J. Grier, M. C. Bentz +68
We present the first results from an optical reverberation mapping campaign executed in 2014, targeting the active galactic nuclei (AGN) MCG+08-11-011, NGC 2617, NGC 4051, 3C 382,…
Multifrequency Photo-polarimetric WEBT Observation Campaign on the Blazar S5 0716+714: Source Microvariability and Search for Characteristic Timescales
G. Bhatta, Ł. Stawarz, M. Ostrowski +43
Here we report on the results of the WEBT photo-polarimetric campaign targeting the blazar S5~0716+71, organized in March 2014 to monitor the source simultaneously in BVRI and near…
Exceptional outburst of the blazar CTA 102 in 2012: The GASP-WEBT campaign and its extension
V. M. Larionov, M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri +49
After several years of quiescence, the blazar CTA 102 underwent an exceptional outburst in 2012 September-October. The flare was tracked from gamma-ray to near-infrared frequencies…
