This paper presents a detailed analysis of the temporal and spectral variability of the low-energy peaked BL Lac object S5 0716+714 with a long (~74 ks)X-ray observation performed by XMM-Newton on 2007 September 24-25. The source…
ROSAT observations of a homogeneous sample of radio--selected BL Lac objects are presented. Results of a detailed spectral analysis in the soft 0.1-2.0 keV energy range are discussed and compared with similar previously published results.…
We present the results of a series of radio, optical, X-ray and gamma-ray observations of the BL Lac object S50716+714 carried out between April 2007 and January 2011. The multi-frequency observations were obtained using several ground and…
At the end of March 2004, the blazar S5 0716+714 underwent an optical outburst that prompted for quasi-simultaneous target-of-opportunity observations with the INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton satellites. In this paper, we report the results of the…
We report results from a 1 week multi-wavelength campaign to monitor the BL Lac object S5 0716+714 (on December 9-16, 2009). In the radio bands the source shows rapid (~ (0.5-1.5) day) intra-day variability with peak amplitudes of up to ~…
The GeV observations by Fermi-LAT give us the opportunity to characterize the high-energy emission (100 MeV - 300 GeV) variability properties of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714. In this study, we performed flux and spectral analysis of more…
We present the results of an extensive analysis of the optical, ultraviolet, X-ray and $\gamma$-ray data collected from the observations of the BL Lac objects prototype BL Lacertae carried out over a period of nearly 13 years, between…
We present the results of the BeppoSAX observations of two BL Lacs, OQ 530 and S5 0716+714, as part of a ToO program for the simultaneous observation at radio, optical, X-ray and TeV energies. Both sources are detected in the LECS and MECS,…
BL Lac objects of the intermediate subclass (IBLs) are known to emit a substantial fraction of their power in the energy range 0.1--10 GeV. Detecting gamma-ray emission from such sources provides therefore a direct probe of the emission…
The BL Lac object S5 0716+714 was monitored during a multifrequency campaign in 1996. Preliminary analysis of the optical, ROSAT and RXTE data are presented. Strong variability on short time scales was observed. The data suggest an…
The BL Lac object Mkn~421 was observed three times by the X-ray observatory BeppoSAX in consecutive days during 1997 April and May. The source was in a quiescent state, with an average 2-10 keV flux of 9.0 x 10^(-11) erg/cm/cm/s. Flux…
The BL Lac Object 1ES 1426+428, at a red-shift of z=0.129, has been monitored by the CAT telescope from February 1998 to June 2000. The accumulation of 26 hours of observations shows a gamma-ray signal of 321 events above 250 GeV at 5.2…
Between 7 March 2002 and 15 June 2002, intensive X-ray observations were carried out on the extreme BL Lac object H1426+428 with instruments on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). These instruments provide measurements of…
We report intensity variations of different spectral components in the BL Lac object S5 0716+714 detected during coordinated BeppoSAX and optical observations in 1996 and 1998. The transition between synchrotron and inverse Compton emission…
We present the results of a series of optical, UV, X-ray and gamma-ray observations of the BL Lac object S50716+714 carried out by the Swift and AGILE satellites in late 2007 when this blazar was flaring close to its historical maximum at…
We monitored the BL Lac object S5 0716+714 in the optical band during the period November 1994-April 1995, which includes the time of a gamma-ray observation by the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on February 14--28, 1995.…
Eight optical and four radio observatories have been intensively monitoring the BL Lac object 0716+714 in the last years: 4854 data points have been collected in the UBVRI bands since 1994, while radio light curves extend back to 1978. Many…
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…
The blazar S5 0716+714 has been monitored in its flaring state between 2015 January 19 and February 22 with Swift/XRT. During this period an exceptional flux level was observed in the X-ray range as well as in the other wavelengths, e.g.…
RGB J2243+203 is a blazar at an estimated redshift of greater than 0.39 that has been classified both as an intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lac object and as a high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object. This source has been detected by VERITAS…
