Multifrequency Polarization Properties of Blazars
We report preliminary results of a 3-year multifrequency polarization campaign of 15 AGNs of blazar type, including bimonthly total and polarized intensity imaging at 7 mm with the VLBA. We find that the sources have two different dependences of degree of polarization on wavelength: sub-mm peaked or straight “polarization spectra”. The fractional polarization of the latter group increases with ...
متن کاملX-ray Intraday Variability of Five Tev Blazars with Nustar
We have examined 40 NuSTAR light curves (LCs) of five TeV emitting high synchrotron peaked blazars: 1ES 0229+200, Mrk 421, Mrk 501, 1ES 1959+650 and PKS 2155−304. Four of the blazars showed intraday variability in the NuSTAR energy range of 3–79 keV. Using an auto correlation function analysis we searched for intraday variability timescales in these LCs and found indications of several between ...
متن کاملSearch for intraday radio variability in EGRET blazars
We present results of intraday variability observations at 5 GHz of the EGRET blazars 0202+14, 0235+16, 2230+11, and 2251+15. The BL-Lac object 0235+16 presented flux density variations of ∼ 7 % over timescales of ∼ 1.3 days. The source 0202+14 was also variable, although with smaller amplitudes. The behaviour of 0235+16 at short timescales is almost identical to that presented in previous intr...
متن کاملProperties of a variable-delay polarization modulator.
We investigate the polarization modulation properties of a variable-delay polarization modulator (VPM). The VPM modulates polarization via a variable separation between a polarizing grid and a parallel mirror. We find that in the limit where the wavelength is much larger than the diameter of the metal wires that comprise the grid, the phase delay derived from the geometric separation between th...
متن کاملVLBI Polarization Observations of Intraday Variability
Global 6 cm VLBI polarization observations of the intraday variable sources 0716+714, 0917+624, and 0954+658 are analyzed. Integrated VLA measurements during the VLBI observations suggest that although there were no substantial total intensity variations, the polarization for all three sources varied signiicantly during the 24-hour VLBI experiment. The VLBI data were divided into 2{3 hour segme...
