The optical behaviour of BL Lacertae at its maximum brightness levels: a blend of geometry and energetics
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, S. G. Jorstad +13
In 2021 BL Lacertae underwent an extraordinary activity phase, which was intensively followed by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration. We present the WEBT optical…
The complex variability of blazars: Time-scales and periodicity analysis in S4 0954+65
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, V. M. Larionov +3
Among active galactic nuclei, blazars show extreme variability properties. We here investigate the case of the BL Lac object S4 0954+65 with data acquired in 2019-2020 by the Trans…
Two Flares with One Shock: the Interesting Case of 3C 454.3
I. Liodakis, D. Blinov, S. G. Jorstad +18
The quasar 3C 454.3 is a blazar known for its rapid and violent outbursts seen across the electromagnetic spectrum. Using gamma-ray, X-ray, multi-band optical, and very long baseli…
Multiwavelength behaviour of the blazar 3C279: decade-long study from -ray to radio
V. M. Larionov, S. G. Jorstad, A. P. Marscher +84
We report the results of decade-long (2008-2018) -ray to 1 GHz radio monitoring of the blazar 3C 279, including GASP/WEBT, and data, as well as polarim…
Investigating the multiwavelength behaviour of the flat spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017
F. D'Ammando, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +94
We present a multiwavelength study of the flat-spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017. We use radio-to-optical data obtained by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope, 15 GHz dat…
The beamed jet and quasar core of the distant blazar 4C 71.07
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +5
The object 4C 71.07 is a high-redshift blazar whose spectral energy distribution shows a prominent big blue bump and a strong Compton dominance. We present the results of a two-yea…
