چکیده
We reported the result of long term optical variability of the blazar 4C 29.45 (QSO 1156+295, Ton 599), carried out optical photometric observations in Johnson V, Cousins RI passbands during April 1997 to March 2002 using the 1.56 meter telescope of the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) at Sheshan, China, compiled the post-1974 optical photometric data of the blazar by combining our new observations with the published optical data, and found maximum variations in different passbands: ∆U = 4.41 mag, ∆B = 5.55 mag, ∆V = 4.53 mag, ∆R = 5.80 mag, and ∆I = 5.34 mag. The average color indices are: U−B = −0.54±0.18 mag, B−V = 0.56±0.21 mag, B−R = 0.93±0.18 mag, B−I = 1.51±0.24 mag, V−R = 0.44±0.15 mag and V−I = 1.03±0.23 mag. The post-1974 data give us an excellent opportunity to search for the existence of possible periodicity in the light curve. In search for periodicity in the R passband light curve, we performed Jurkevich test and power spectral (Fourier) analysis methods, and CLEANest algorithms to remove false signals. We found possible periods of 3.55 and 1.58 years. The possible mechanism for the periodic variability was discussed.

During its first cycle, the MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescope was performing an observational campaign covering a total of about 250 hours on galactic sources. Here we review the results for the very high energy (> 100 GeV) γ-ray emission from some of those sources.

We report the results of radio and X-ray observations of the high mass X-ray binary 2S 0114+650, made with the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope and the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer respectively. No emission was detected at radio wavelengths. The neutral hydrogen column density was found to vary over the orbital period, while no variability over the the super-orbital period was observed. We discus...
