We observed Mrk 421 in V and R band using the 1.0 m telescope at Weihai Observatory of Shandong University since 2009 April to 2012 May. The available historical data in B and V band were also assembled for constructing light curves. The brightness of Mrk 421 ranges from 11.40 to 16.14 in the B band light curve, and from 11.38 to 14.56 in the V band. Analyses with the Jurkevich method and the structure function method showed a possible period of about 1.36 years for its long periodic variability. This period could be explained by a close binary black hole system (BBHS) model with a primary black hole mass of 1.70×108 M ⊙ and a secondary ～(0.49–2.9)×107 M ⊙. We showed the color variability of Mrk 421, a bluer when brighter behavior during its lower state. Analyses of spectral index variations show that only a host galaxy contribution is not sufficient to explain the spectral index variations in Mrk 421, and some intrinsic mechanism is needed. 相似文献

We present our optical multi-color monitoring of the BL Lac object OJ 287 from January 2006to December 2012 in the V,R and I bands.A relatively active state in OJ 287 has been found over all monitored epochs,among which the variations of average magnitude in V/R/I bands were measured with ?V=1.956 mag,?R=2.067 mag and ?I=2.115 mag,respectively.No reliable intraday variability is detected,but possible variability is detected on 16 nights.Their relative variation amplitudes fall into the range between 1% and 8%,with the majority between 2% and 4%.No time lags have been detected,but strong correlations exist among light curves in the three wavebands.The bluer-when-brighter trend is dominant over intraday timescales,which supports the shock-in-jet model.When combining with additional V/R band data obtained from SMARTS and the Steward Observatory,we also find a bluer-when-brighter trend over a long-term timescale.Some possible periods of 513,176,36,30,26,17 and 14 d are found in all time-series data sets from 2006 to 2017.Possible explanations about these periods are given. 相似文献

This is the second paper in a series reporting a new method developed to estimate the fundamental atmospheric parameters of effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity simultaneously. In the first paper three parameters were estimated using only photometric indices in the uvby color system. Whereas, in this paper, we use BVRI and JHK color systems. Using the model atmosphere grids, all three parameter values were estimated with respect to both [(B–V):(V–R)] and [(B–V):(R–I)], as well as [(V–K):(H–K)] and [(J–K):(H–K)] pair indices. It was confirmed that (B–V) and (V–K) indices are good temperature indicators, but all color indices for the BVRI and JHK systems are very poor indicators of metallicity and surface gravity. This new method was applied to a number of field dwarfs and giants, and the results were compared with those from the uvby color system. We found that the JHK color system can compete with the uvby system only in the estimation of temperature. 相似文献

The long baseline simultaneous multiband ( BVRI ) observations of blazar 3C 273 are presented. We have made 758 optical multiband observations with the Yunnan Astronomical Observatory (YAO) 103 cm and Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) 156 cm from 2003 January to 2005 April. In our observational campaign, the average colour indices are B − V = 0.21, V − R = 0.26 and R − I = 0.31 . The mean magnitudes in B, V, R and I are 12.895, 12.698, 12.441 and 12.139, respectively. The source is in a steady state over observational campaign. The correlations between colour index and brightness are discussed. We find that the correlations of B − V versus B , V − R versus V and R − I versus R have significant negative correlation, while B − V versus V , V − R versus R and R − I versus I have positive correlation. These strong correlations imply that the spectrum becomes bluer (flatter) when the source becomes brighter, and redden (softer) when the source fades both in intraday and long-term variability. The spectral evolution trends of 3C 273 are consistent with those of BL Lac objects. 相似文献

A comprehensive set of magnitudes obtained between 1954 and 2006 are analyzed. The martian brightness and its variations are characterized empirically at UBVRI wavelengths. Geometrical factors including phase angle, orbital longitude and rotation angle are distinguished from geophysical factors including dust storms and changing albedo features. The phase function indicates a brightness surge near opposition at all wavelengths except possibly in the U band. The color indices reveal increased reddening with phase angle. No significant brightness difference between morning and evening hemisphere observations is indicated with the possible exception of the I band. There is no conclusive evidence for inter-annual brightness variation during the years from 1991 to 2006 when abundant photometry is available. Major dust storms caused brightness excesses that were strongest in the R band at an average of 0.15 mag more luminous than the empirical model for dust-free conditions. The storm of 2001 produced a rapid increase at the onset followed by a slower decline, while the 2003–2004 event show a more gradual increase. The return to normal brightness was linear in magnitude for both storms. Brightness excesses at longer wavelengths were about 0.20 to 0.25 mags at the peak of the 2001 storm. The observed geometric albedo of Mars is 0.059±0.001 in U, 0.089±0.001 in B, 0.170±0.002 in V, 0.289±0.003 in R, and 0.330±0.003 in I. The corresponding albedo values for all five colors exceed those recorded in the literature, with larger percentage increases at shorter wavelengths. 相似文献

We report the discovery of a variable object in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N) which brightened, during the 8.5 d sampled by the data, by more than 0.9 mag in I 814 and about 0.7 mag in V 606 , remaining stable in B 450 . Subsequent observations of the HDF-N show that two years later this object has dimmed to about its original brightness in I 814 . The colours of this object, its brightness, its time behaviour in the various filters and the evolution of its morphology are consistent with it being a Type Ib supernova in a faint galaxy at z . 相似文献

A kind of wavelet analysis method for identifying the light period of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714 is introduced. The rather complete observed data in the four optical wavebands B, V, R, I are collected, and the long-term light curves based on 10-day averaging are obtained. On these light curves, the periodicity analysis is performed by using a wavelet analysis method. The result demonstrates that the wavelet analysis method is preferable for searching and identifying the light periods of BL Lac objects. From the contour map of the real part of the wavelet transform coefficient, the periodical light variations of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714 can be precisely identified. By analyzing the wavelet variance curves at the 4 wavebands, it is found that the BL Lac Object S5 0716+174 has a stable light period of 1160 days. This result is consistent with the 3.3-year period given by Raiteri et al. It is predicted that the next outburst in this object will happen around the August of 2011. 相似文献

We present a new method for determining the age and relative contribution of different stellar populations in galaxies based on the genetic algorithm. We apply this method to the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3384, using CCD images in U, B, V, R and I bands. This analysis indicates that the galaxy NGC 3384 is mainly inhabited by old stellar population (age >109yr). Some problems were encountered when numerical simulations are used for determining the contribution of different stellar populations in the integrated color of a galaxy. The results show that the proposed genetic algorithm can search efficiently through the very large space of the possible ages. 相似文献

We present new determinations of bolometric corrections and effective temperature scales as a function of infrared optical colours, using a large data base of photometric observations of about 6500 Population II giants in Galactic globular clusters (GGCs), covering a wide range in metallicity (−2.0 < [Fe/H] < 0.0). New relations for BC K versus ( V − K ) , ( J − K ) and BC V versus ( B − V ), ( V − I ), ( V − J ), and new calibrations for T eff , using both an empirical relation and model atmospheres, are provided. Moreover, an empirical relation to derive the R parameter of the infrared flux method as a function of the stellar temperature is also presented. 相似文献

The variability of the T Tauri-like stars in NGC 2264 in U, B, V, R and I colours has been studied. It is found that the range of variability in amplitude in I is less than in U, B and V. A method of determining relative opacities at these wavelengths from the variability in different colours of these dust embedded stars is also described. 相似文献

We have used optical V and R band observations from the Massive Compact Halo Object(MACHO) project on a sample of 59 quasars behind the Magellanic clouds to study their long term optical flux and colour variations. These quasars, lying in the redshift range of 0.2 z 2.8 and having apparent V band magnitudes between 16.6 and 20.1 mag, have observations ranging from 49 to 1353 epochs spanning over 7.5 yr with frequency of sampling between 2 to 10 days. All the quasars show variability during the observing period. The normalised excess variance(Fvar) in V and R bands are in the range 0.2% FV var 1.6% and 0.1% FR var 1.5% respectively. In a large fraction of the sources, Fvaris larger in the V band compared to the R band. From the z-transformed discrete cross-correlation function analysis, we find that there is no lag between the V and R band variations. Adopting the Markov Chain Monte Carlo(MCMC) approach, and properly taking into account the correlation between the errors in colours and magnitudes, it is found that the majority of sources show a bluer when brighter trend, while a minor fraction of quasars show the opposite behaviour. This is similar to the results obtained from another two independent algorithms, namely the weighted linear least squares fit(FITEXY) and the bivariate correlated errors and intrinsic scatter regression(BCES). However, the ordinary least squares(OLS) fit, normally used in the colour variability studies of quasars, indicates that all the quasars studied here show a bluer when brighter trend. It is therefore very clear that the OLS algorithm cannot be used for the study of colour variability in quasars. 相似文献

We carried out I , R , V and B photometric observations of the neutron star X-ray binary RXTE J2123−058 shortly after the end of the X-ray outburst in mid-1998. We adopt the low-mass binary model to interpret our observations. After folding our data on the 0.24 821‐d orbital period, and correcting for the steady brightness decline following the outburst, we observed sinusoidal oscillations with hints of ellipsoidal modulations which became progressively more evident. Our data also show that the decline in brightness was faster in the V band than in the R and I bands. This suggests both the cooling of an irradiation-heated secondary star and the fading of an accretion disc over the nights of our observations. 相似文献

We present BVR full-light curves of V388 Cyg to provide a complete photometric solution for the first time. The light curves show a high degree of asymmetry (O'Connell effect). The maxima at 0.25 phase (Max I) are 0.023, 0.018 and 0.012 mag higher than those at 0.75 phase (Max II) in B , V and R , respectively. Three possible spot models are applied to fit the asymmetric light curves of V388 Cyg, in order to explain the O'Connell effect. We conclude that the model of the cool spot on the cooler star is the most reasonable model for V388 Cyg. The continuous period variation is confirmed by recently collected times of minima, including one minimum that is determined in this paper. The period decrease rate is estimated as d p /d t =−2.055×10−7 d yr−1 . 相似文献

CCD-photometry of three Jupiter Trojan asteroids were carried out to study their opposition effect. We obtained well-sampled magnitude–phase curves for (588) Achilles, (884) Priamus, and (1143) Odysseus in the maximal attainable phase angle range down to 0.1–0.2°. The magnitude–phase relations have a linear behavior in all observed range of phase angles and do not show any non-linear opposition brightening. We have not found any confident differences between phase slopes measured in B, V and R bands. The values of the measured phase slopes of Trojans are different from available data for Centaurs. They are within the range of phase slopes measured for some low-albedo main belt asteroids, also exhibit a linear behavior down to small phase angles. An absence of non-linear opposition brightening puts constraints on the surface properties of the studied objects, assuming very dark surfaces where single scattering plays dominating role.We also determined the rotation periods, amplitudes, the values of color indexes B–V and V–R, and the absolute magnitudes of these asteroids. 相似文献

The globe of Saturn is brighter than previously reported as indicated by its absolute opposition magnitudes in the UBVRI band passes which are ?7.080, ?7.842, ?8.914, ?9.587 and ?9.606, respectively. The geometric albedo in V is 0.501 and it peaks in the R filter at 0.567. The brightest apparent magnitude of the system in the V-band is ?0.61 and the faintest is +1.31. The B–V color index can be as blue as +0.93 and as red at +1.12. 相似文献
