Descripción
During the OJ-94 campaign for the blazar OJ 287 the authors have
obtained the best ever observed optical light curve for any
extragalactic object. They have monitored this blazar since fall 1993
and have collected over 2000 optical photometric observations. The light
curve shows continuous activity down to timescales of tens of minutes,
with amplitudes ranging from 0.1 to 2 magnitudes. The fastest observed
activity was a 1.2 magnitude drop in less than a day and a 0.5 magnitude
brightening in five hours.
