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…
Investigation of the correlation patterns and the Compton dominance variability of Mrk 421 in 2017
MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +284
We present a detailed characterisation and theoretical interpretation of the broadband emission of the paradigmatic TeV blazar Mrk 421, with special focus on the multi-band flux co…
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…
Short-Timescale Variability of the Blazar Mrk 421 from AstroSat and Simultaneous Multi-Wavelength Observations
Ritaban Chatterjee, Susmita Das, Archishman Khasnovis +13
We study the multi-wavelength variability of the blazar Mrk 421 at minutes to days timescales using simultaneous data at -rays from Fermi, 0.7-20 keV energies from AstroSat, and…
VHE gamma-ray detection of FSRQ QSO B1420+326 and modeling of its enhanced broadband state in 2020
V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +230
Context. QSO B1420+326 is a blazar classified as a Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ). In the beginning of 2020 it underwent an enhanced flux state. An extensive multiwavelength cam…
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…
