The VLBA-BU-BLAZAR Multi-Wavelength Monitoring Program
We describe a multiwavelength program of monitoring of a sample of bright γ-ray blazars, which the Boston University (BU) group has being carrying out since June 2007. The program includes monthly monitoring with the Very Long Baseline Array at 43 GHz, optical photometric and polarimetric observations, construction and analysis of UV and X-ray light curves obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing E...
متن کاملParsec-scale Blazar Monitoring: Proper Motions
We present proper motions obtained from a dual frequency, six-epoch, VLBA polarization experiment monitoring a sample of 12 blazars. The observations were made at 15 GHz and 22 GHz at bi-monthly intervals over 1996. Ten of the eleven sources for which proper motion could be reliably determined are superluminal. Only J2005+77 has no superluminal components. Three sources (OJ 287, J1224+21, and J...
متن کاملParsec-scale Blazar Monitoring: Flux and Polarization Variability
We present analysis of the flux and polarization variability of parsec scale radio jets from a dual-frequency, six-epoch, VLBA polarization experiment monitoring 12 blazars. The observations were made at 15 and 22 GHz at bimonthly intervals over 1996. Here we analyze the flux, fractional polarization, and polarization position angle behavior of core regions and jet features, considering both th...
متن کامل15 GHz Monitoring of Gamma-ray Blazars with the OVRO 40 Meter Telescope in Support of Fermi
Since mid-2007, we have been monitoring 1200 sources at 15 GHz with the 40 M Telescope at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory. Our ∼ sample, mostly blazars, is monitored at least twice per week, yielding densely-sampled light curves. A large fraction of the sources in our sample exhibit significant variation in 15 GHz flux density, enabling variability studies and crosscorrelations with other ba...
متن کاملThe CLASS blazar survey: testing the blazar sequence
We discuss the properties of the sources in the CLASS Blazar survey which aims at the selection of low radio power (P5GHz < 10 25 W Hz) blazars. We use VLA data from available catalogues and from our own observations to constrain the radio core-dominance of the sample which, together with the flat radio spectral index, is a signature of the blazar activity. X-ray data from the ROSAT All Sky Sur...
