H1517+656 is an unusual source, even for a BL Lac object. It is one of the most luminous BL Lac objects known, with extreme emission properties at radio...
Herschel-ATLAS: Blazars in the science demonstration phase field
To investigate the poorly constrained sub-mm counts and spectral properties of blazars we searched for these in the Herschel-ATLAS (H-ATLAS) science...
High zenith angle observations of PKS 2155-304 with the MAGIC-I telescope
Context. The high frequency peaked BL Lac PKS 2155-304 with a redshift of z = 0.116 was discovered in 1997 in the very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) γ-ray...
High-redshift BL Lac Objects: Spectroscopy of Candidates
We report on 16 BL Lacertae objects that were proposed to be at z > 1. We present spectroscopic observations secured at the 10.4 m GTC that allowed us to assess...
HST Observations of Host Galaxies in Three Radio-selected BL Lacertae Objects
We present high-resolution images of three BL Lac objects (0814+425, 1823+568, 2254+074) taken with the WFPC-2 camera on Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as part of...
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Host Galaxies of BL Lacertae Objects
Six BL Lac objects from the complete 1 Jy radio-selected sample of 34 objects were observed in cycle 5 with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide-Field...
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Optical Jets of PKS 0521-365, 3C 371, and PKS 2201+044
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations have led to the discovery of the optical counterpart of the radio jet of PKS 2201+044 and to a detailed analysis of...
Infranight infrared spectral variability in OJ 287
We present results from five nights of pseudo-simulations JHK infrared monitoring of the blazar OJ 287 taken with the Carlos Sanchez Telescope during March 1991...
The physics of infrared emission processes is examined, taking into account black body radiation, radiation from dust particles, thermal plasma emission...
