Rapid X-ray Variability in Mkn 421 during a Multiwavelength Campaign

Alex G. Markowitz, Krzysztof Nalewajko, Gopal Bhatta +47

The study of short-term variability properties in AGN jets has the potential to shed light on their particle acceleration and emission mechanisms. We report results from a four-day…

Host galaxy magnitude of OJ 287 from its colours at minimum light

Mauri J. Valtonen, Lankeswar Dey, S. Zola +54

OJ 287 is a BL Lacertae type quasar in which the active galactic nucleus (AGN) outshines the host galaxy by an order of magnitude. The only exception to this may be at minimum ligh…

Statistical analysis of micro-variability properties of the blazar S5 0716+714

Jingran Xu, Shaoming Hu, James R. Webb +5

The typical blazar S5 0716714 is very interesting due to its rapid and large amplitude variability and high duty cycle of micro-variability in optical band. We analyze the obser…

Intraday Optical Variability of BL Lacertae

Nankun Meng, Jianghua Wu, James R. Webb +2

We monitored BL Lacertae simultaneously in the optical B, V, R and I bands for 13 nights during the period 2012-2016. The variations were well correlated in all bands and the sourc…
