Multi-Frequency Blazar Micro-Variability as a Tool to Investigate Relativistic Jets
For the past 12 years we have been studying optical micro-variability of a sample of 15 Blazars. We summarize the results of this study and draw some basic conclusions about the characteristics of micro-variability. The intermittency, the stochastic nature, and the similar profile shapes seen in micro-variations at different times and in different objects have led us to a possible model to expl...
متن کاملAccretion Disks , Jets and Blazar Variability
Although blazar variability is probably dominated by emission from relativistic jets, accretion disks should be present in all blazars. These disks produce emission over most of the electromagnetic spectrum; various unstable processes operate in those disks which will lead to variable emission. Here I summarize some of the most relevant disk mechanisms for AGN variability. I also discuss some a...
متن کاملRadio to gamma-ray variability study of blazar S5 0716+714
We present the results of a series of radio, optical, X-ray, and γ-ray observations of the BL Lac object S50716+714 carried out between April 2007 and January 2011. The multifrequency observations were obtained using several groundand space-based facilities. The intense optical monitoring of the source reveals faster repetitive variations superimposed on a long-term variability trend on a time ...
متن کاملParsec-scale Blazar Monitoring: Flux and Polarization Variability
We present analysis of the flux and polarization variability of parsec scale radio jets from a dual-frequency, six-epoch, VLBA polarization experiment monitoring 12 blazars. The observations were made at 15 and 22 GHz at bimonthly intervals over 1996. Here we analyze the flux, fractional polarization, and polarization position angle behavior of core regions and jet features, considering both th...
متن کاملRadio variability of the gamma - ray blazar 0202 + 149
Analysis of radio light curves of the γ-ray bright blazar 0202+149 at frequencies of 37, 22, 14.5, 8, and 4.8 GHz during the period 1984-1998 reveals a 4-year cycle of variability with substructure on a shorter time scale of about 1.3-yr. The 4.8-37 GHz spectral index of the source gradually increases from −0.04 (T=1990.2) to 0.4 (T=1996.6) and during outbursts shows strong variations with a ti...
