Interstellar scintillation as the origin of rapid radio variability
Interstellar scintillation as the origin of rapid radio variability in the quasar J1819+3845. Quasars shine brightly due to the liberation of gravitational energy as matter falls onto a supermassive black hole in the centre of a galaxy[1]. Variations in the radiation received from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are studied at all wavelengths, revealing the tiny dimensions of the region and the pr...
متن کاملRadioband Variability Properties of BL Lac Objects
Centimeter-wavelength total ux density and linear polarization observations have quantiied the high levels of activity in BL Lac objects and identiied variability timescales ranging from < 1 day to several years. Nearly two decades of single-antenna (UMRAO) observations of a ux-limited sample show that the radioband spectra of the total ux are characteristically at even during this activity: th...
متن کاملBroadband variability of TeV BL Lac objects
BL Lac objects provide a direct view on the high energetic jet and offer the possibility to study the emission processes and the particle acceleration in the jet because of their broad emission range over the whole electromagnetic spectrum up to TeV energies. The variability information gives a direct estimation of the maximum size of the emission region. Under the assumption of the synchrotron...
متن کاملUnusual radio variability in the BL Lac object 0235 + 164
We present radio observations at three frequencies and contemporaneous optical monitoring of the peculiar BLLac object AO0235+164. During a three-week campaign with the VLA we observed intraday variability in this source and found a distinct peak which can be identified throughout the radio frequencies and tentatively connected to the R-band variations. This event is characterized by unusual pr...
متن کاملBl Lac Objects
SUMMARY: We present the radio detection of 18 BL Lac objects from our survey of over 575 deg 2 of sky. These 18 objects are located within 20 ′′ of the X-ray position, of which 11 have a measured red-shift. All candidates are radio emitters above ∼1 mJy and fall within the range of existing samples on the two colour, α ro vs α ox , diagram with a transitional population of three (3) evident. Tw...
