Hunting distant BL Lacertae objects with the photometric technique using Swift and SARA

open access: yes, 2020
BL Lacertae objects represent a large fraction (22%) of γ-ray sources in the Third Fermi Large Area Telescope catalog (3FGL). Nearly half of the BL Lac object population remains without a redshift because of their featureless optical spectra.

Revealing High-z Fermi-LAT BL Lacs Using Swift and SARA Data with Photometric Analysis

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects are a subclass of blazar, distinguished by their featureless optical spectrum. The featureless spectrum presents a challenge in measuring the redshift of the BL Lacs.

BL Lacertae Objects: A Short Review

open access: yesCommunications of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory, 2019
BL Lacertae objects (BLLs) constitute a class of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with extreme observational features explained by non-thermal radiation from a relativistic jet nearly pointed along the observer’s line-of-sight. Their spectral energy distribution (SED), extending over 17-19 orders of the frequency, is of non-thermal origin and shows a ...

Investigating Optical Variability of the Blazar S5 0716+714 on Diverse Timescales

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the results of the observational study of the blazar S5 0716+716 in the optical bands B , V , R , and I between 2019 March and 2023 August to investigate its variability on diverse timescales.

A New Phase of Optical Activity of BL Lacertae in the Fall of 2024: Intra-Night Flux and Polarization Variations

open access: yesUniverse
BL Lacertae is not only archetypical of an entire class of jet-dominated active galactic nuclei, blazars, but also one of the most active and rapidly changing objects in this class.

From Equipartition to Curvature: The Spectral Evolution of 4FGL Blazars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We investigate the evolution of spectral energy distribution (SED) and underlying electron energy distribution (EED) by modeling the nearly simultaneous broadband spectra of selected bright 4FGL blazars, in the context of a combined cooling and ...

Optical observations of eight X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects

open access: yes, 1998
We present optical data in the Johnson's BV and Cousins' R bands for eight X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) that have recently been pointed by the Satellite per Astronomia X "Beppo" (BeppoSAX).

X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects: catalogue and statistical properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The present work focuses on the statistical properties of X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects (XBLs) whose catalogue has been compiled. It consists of 312 sources from different X-ray surveys, unambiguously identified to mid-2010.
