Extreme intranight variability in the BL Lacertae object AO 0235 + 164
We present results of two-colour photometry with high time resolution of the violently variable BL Lac object AO 0235+164. We have found extreme intranight variability with amplitudes of ∼ 100% over time scales of 24 hours. Changes of 0.5 magnitudes in both R and V bands were measured within a single night, and variations up to 1.2 magnitudes occurred from night to night. A complete outburst wi...
متن کاملBlack hole mass and binary model for BL Lac object OJ 287
Recent intensive observations of the BL Lac object OJ 287 raise a lot of questions on the models of binary black holes, processing jets, rotating helical jets and thermal instability of slim accretion disks. After carefully analyzing their radio flux and polarization data, Valtaoja et al. (2000) propose a new binary model. Based on the black hole mass of 4×108M⊙ estimated with the tight correla...
متن کاملModeling the Variability of the Bl Lacertae Object Pks 21552304
The bright X-ray–selected BL Lacertae object PKS 21552304 has been the target of two intense multiwavelength campaigns: in 1991 November and in 1994 May. Although the spectral energy distributions at both epochs were quite similar, the source exhibited two very distinct variability patterns that cannot be easily reconciled with homogeneous, one-zone jet models. During the first epoch the variab...
متن کاملThe Mass Distribution of Black Holes in Bl Lacertae Objects
In this Letter, we make an attempt to estimate the masses of black holes and their distributions in BL Lac objects. We find there is a bimodal population of black hole masses in BL Lacs: the first has a lower-mass peak centred at ∼ 7.0×10M⊙ composed of high frequency-peaked BL Lacs (HBLs) and the second is a higher-mass (> 10M⊙) population composed of low frequency-peaked BL Lacs (LBLs). The lo...
متن کاملUnusual radio variability in the BL Lacertae object 0235 + 164
We present radio observations at three frequencies and contemporaneous optical monitoring of the peculiar BL Lac object AO 0235+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 ...
