- Description:
- The brightest extragalactic radio sources at 2.7 GHz are catalogued. The complete sample comprises 233 sources found in the major centimeter wavelength surveys carried out at ANRAO/Parkes, NNRAO/Greenbank, and MPIfR/Bonn: the sample covers 9.81 sr and has limits S(27) = 2.0 Jy and |b| > 10{deg}. A critical reanalysis of the data shows that 227 (97 percent) have optical identifications and 171 (73 percent) have measured redshifts. The implications of the catalogue statistics for the luminosity functions of different radio-source populations are considered.

- Description:
- Table1 contains the 130 brightest sources of a 230GHz survey of quasars and BL Lacertae objects performed at the SEST. The objects which showed a 230GHz flux density above500 mJy most of the time were selected as pointing sources. Name, coordinates (B1950) and type are given in the table. Due to the variability of many objects the minimum and maximum flux density at 230GHz is given as well. A few values are taken from literature. These data are marked with an asterisk.

- Description:
- We present R- and B-band CCD observations of ON 231 that were made at the Dark Sky Observatory at Appalachian State University (DSO-data) during 37 nights in April 1998 - December 1999. The observations have been obtained in connection with current microvariability studies but this paper presents only the nightly averaged R and B magnitudes together with other details of these observations. These data were used to verify the 1395-day period proposed from the analysis of the prior data (all B-band data available in the 1971-1997 time interval). To transform R-band observations to B we used the equation: B=1.107*R-0.653.

- BR photometry of 2012 precursor flare in OJ287

- Description:
- We have studied three most recent precursor flares in the light curve of the blazar OJ 287 while invoking the presence of a precessing binary black hole in the system to explain the nature of these flares. Precursor flare timings from the historical light curves are compared with theoretical predictions from our model that incorporate effects of an accretion disk and post-Newtonian description for the binary black hole orbit. We find that the precursor flares coincide with the secondary black hole descending toward the accretion disk of the primary black hole from the observed side, with a mean z-component of approximately z_c_=4000AU. We use this model of precursor flares to predict that precursor flare of similar nature should happen around 2020.96 before the next major outburst in 2022.

- CDS
- Description:
- We report the BVR_c_I_c_ data for 10 blazars observed in the first phase of a long-term photometric monitoring program of about 30 objects. The observations were carried out with a 0.40-m automatic imaging telescope, recently developed by our group at the Perugia University Observatory. During our period of observation 1215+303 and 1424+240 were at their highest values of magnitude, while 0754+100 and 0829+043 displayed large amplitude flares. We further report optical data of Mrk 501 during the same period in which TeV {gamma}-rays were detected by the Whipple Observatory. For a description of the (RI)c photometric system, see e.g. the General Catalog of Photometry Data <GCPD/54>.

- BVRI and spectroscopic light curves of S5 0716+714
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/888/30
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In order to study short timescale optical variability of {gamma}-ray blazar S5 0716+714, quasi-simultaneous spectroscopic and multiband photometric observations were performed from 2018 November to 2019 March with the 2.4m optical telescope located at Lijiang Observatory of Yunnan Observatories. The observed spectra are well fitted with a power law F_{lambda}_=A{lambda}^-{alpha}^ (spectral index {alpha}>0). Correlations found between {dot}{alpha}, {dot}A, {dot}A/A, {dot}F_{lambda}_, and {dot}F_{lambda}_/F_{lambda}_ are consistent with the trend of bluer-when-brighter (BWB). It is the same case for colors, magnitudes, color variation rates, and magnitude variation rates of photometric observations. The variations of {alpha} lead those of F_{lambda}_. Also, the color variations lead magnitude variations. The observational data are mostly distributed in the I(+,+) and III(-,-) quadrants of the coordinate system. Both spectroscopic and photometric observations show BWB behaviors in S5 0716+714. The observed BWB may be explained by the shock-jet model, and its appearance may depend on the relative position of the observational frequency ranges with respect to the synchrotron peak frequencies, e.g., at the left of the peak frequencies. Fractional variability amplitudes are F_var_~40% for both spectroscopic and photometric observations. Variations of {alpha} indicate variations of relativistic electron distribution producing the optical spectra.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The long baseline simultaneous multiband (BVRI) observations of blazar 3C 273 are presented. We have made 758 optical multiband observations with the Yunnan Astronomical Observatory (YAO) 103cm and Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) 156cm from 2003 January to 2005 April. In our observational campaign, the average colour indices are B-V=0.21, V-R= 0.26 and R-I=0.31 . The mean magnitudes in B, V, R and I are 12.895, 12.698, 12.441 and 12.139, respectively. The source is in a steady state over observational campaign. The correlations between colour index and brightness are discussed. We find that the correlations of B-V versus B, V-R versus V and R-I versus R have significant negative correlation, while B-V versus V, V-R versus R and R-I versus I have positive correlation. These strong correlations imply that the spectrum becomes bluer (flatter) when the source becomes brighter, and redden (softer) when the source fades both in intraday and long-term variability. The spectral evolution trends of 3C 273 are consistent with those of BL Lac objects.

- Description:
- We present the most continuous data base of optical multiband data ever published on the BL Lacertae object ON 231 (W Com). The data have been collected during an intensive and coordinated BV(RI)c monitoring campaign carried out in the period from March 1994 to March 1997. During our campaign, the source brightness was at the highest level ever observed. The light curve shows a complex structure, characterized by the presence of three major outbursts having the observed maxima in March 1995, February 1996, and January 1997, when ON 231 reached its historical maximum (B~=14.2). Variability on time scales from a few hours up to a month have frequently been observed and the light curve seems to be the superposition of many flares with different amplitudes and time scales. The broad-band optical spectral energy distribution is characterized by a spectral slope which correlates with the flux level. In particular, the higher is the flux the flatter is the spectrum.

- BV(RI)c photometry of ON 231 during outburst
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present the results of the optical monitoring of the BL Lac object ON 231 from 1997 to the spring 2001, including the large outburst of spring 1998. After this event the mean source luminosity declined slowly and continued to show changes greater than one magnitude. A simple analysis of the variability time scales in the best-sampled segments of the light curve reveals that the luminosity changes were faster during the burst and slowed down in the subsequent years.
