Object: All available LAT monitored blazars; gamma-ray bright Fermi ToOs.
Source Coordinates: Various, but south of +61 deg Dec.
Observation Start Date: 2018-07-06
Observation Stop Date: 2018-07-13
Wavelength Band: Optical
Details:
Optical spectropolarimetry and spectrophotometry of Fermi-detected blazars, concentrating on those objects with gamma-ray fluxes high enough to be monitored by Fermi on time scales of a few days or less. Polarization and flux spectra span 4000-7550 Angstroms with a spectral resolution of 16-24 Angstroms. The Steward Observatory 1.54m Kuiper Telescope and SPOL spectropolarimeter will be used. Requests from the high-energy/VLBI communities for specific additional targets are welcome. See http://james.as.arizona.edu/~psmith/Fermi for details and data. All data are made public as soon as possible.
