  • Near-infrared and optical imaging of Q2345+007: The largest gravitationally lensed QSO system? 
    Gopal-Krishna; Yates, M; Wiita, P. J; Smette, A; Pati, A. K; Altieri, B (The European Southern Observatory, 1993-12)
    We have taken K, R, V, and B band images of Q 2345+007, which has been claimed to be the gravitationally lensed quasar with the widest separation between the two images (approximately equal 7 arcsec), although the lens ...
  • Optical microvariability in radio quiet quasars 
    Wiita, P. J; Gopal-Krishna; Sagar, R (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1994)
    We have observed 11 radio quiet QSOs (RQQSOs) to see if they exhibit intranight variability in the optical. The detection of such microvariability would support models in which flutuations on accretion disks are dominant, ...
  • Rapid optical variability of TeV blazars 
    Gopal-Krishna; Goyal, A; Joshi, S; Karthick, C; Sagar, R; Wiita, P. J; Anupama, G. C; Sahu, D. K (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-09)
    In this first systematic attempt to characterize the intranight optical variability (INOV) of TeV-detected blazars, we have monitored a well-defined set of nine TeV blazars on total 26 nights during 2004–10. In this R- or ...
  • Relativistic beams, thick accretion disks and active galactic nuclei 
    Wiita, P. J; Kapahi, V. K; Saikia, D. J (Astronomical Society of India, 1982-12)
    We review recent analyses of observations of radio galaxies and quasars that support the relativistic beaming models and appear to produce values for the Lorentz factors of the radiating mateiral in the nuclear jets. Thick ...
  • Stellar Disruption by Supermassive Black Holes and the Quasar Radio Loudness Dichotomy 
    Gopal-Krishna; Mangalam, A; Wiita, P. J (The American Astronomical Society, 2008-06-10)
    The origin of the dichotomy of radio loudness among quasars can be explained using recent findings that the mass of the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) in extended radio-loud quasars is systematically a few times ...
  • Stimulated raman scattering in active galactic nuclei 
    Krishan, V; Wiita, P. J (International Astronomical Union, 1986)
    Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) processes offer an attractive and efficient method for producing both essentially the entire non-thermal continuum as well as fast electrons in active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this picture, ...
  • Stochastic modeling of multiwavelength variability of the classical BL Lac Object OJ 287 on timescales ranging from decades to hours 
    Goyal, A; Stawarz, L; Zola, S; Marchenko, V; Soida, M; Nilsson, K; Ciprini, S; Baran, A; Ostrowski, M; Wiita, P. J; Gopal-Krishna; iemiginowska, A; Sobolewska, M; Jorstad, S; Marscher, A; Aller, M. F; Aller, H. D; Hovatta, T; Caton, D. B; Reichart, D; Matsumoto, K; Sadakane, K; Gazeas, K; Kidger, M; Piirola, V; Jermak, H; Alicavus, F; Baliyan, K. S; Baransky, A; Berdyugin, A; Blay, P; Boumis, P; Boyd, D; Bufan, Y; Campas Torrent, M; Campos, F; Carrillo Gomez, J; Dalessio, J; Debski, B; Dimitrov, D; Drozdz, M; Er, H; Erdem, A; Escartin Perez, A; Fallah Ramazani, V; Filippenko, A. V; Gafton, E; Garcia, F; Godunova, V; Gomez Pinilla, F; Maheswar, G; Haislip, J. B; Haque, S; Harmanen, J; Hudec, R; Hurst, G; Ivarsen, K. M; Joshi, A; Kagitani, M; Karaman, N; Karjalainen, R; Kaur, N; Koziel-Wierzbowska, D; Kuligowska, E; Kundera, T; Kurowski, S; Kvammen, A; LaCluyze, A. P; Lee, B. C; Liakos, A; Lozano de Haro, J; Moore, J. P; Mugrauer, M; Naves Nogues, R; Neely, A. W; Ogloza, W; Okano, S; Pajdosz, U; Pandey, J. C; Perri, M; Poyner, G; Provencal, J; Pursimo, T; Raj, A; and 29 co-authors (IOP Publishing, 2018-08-20)
    We present the results of our power spectral density analysis for the BL Lac object OJ 287, utilizing the Fermi-LAT survey at high-energy γ-rays, Swift-XRT in X-rays, several ground-based telescopes and the Kepler satellite ...
  • Testing the mechanisms for optical micro-variability of powerful active galactic nuclei 
    Gopal-Krishna; Sagar, R; Wiita, P. J (Astronomical Society of India, 1993)
    We present the first results of a new type of observational program being carried out using the 2.34m Vainu Bappu Telescope at Kavalur. This program involves intra-night optical monitoring of radio quiet but optically ...
