The dual nature of blazar fast variability. Space and ground observations of S5 0716+714
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, D. Carosati +39
Blazar S5 0716+714 is well-known for its short-term variability, down to intra-day time-scales. We here present the 2-min cadence optical light curve obtained by the TESS space tel…

Blazar spectral variability as explained by a twisting inhomogeneous jet
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata
Blazar emission is dominated by non-thermal radiation from a relativistic jet pointing toward us, therefore undergoing Doppler beaming. This is responsible for flux enhancement and…

The awakening of BL Lacertae: observations by Fermi, Swift, and the GASP-WEBT
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, F. D'Ammando +4
Since the launch of the Fermi satellite, BL Lacertae has been moderately active at gamma-rays and optical frequencies until May 2011, when the source started a series of strong fla…
