PublicationOJ 287 and the predicted fade of 1998
There were predictions that blazar OJ 287 should have faded in late 1997 or early 1998. The observational background for these predictions is the sudden fade of...

PublicationOn the Connection of the Apparent Proper Motion and the VLBI Structure of Compact Radio Sources
Many of the compact extragalactic radio sources that are used as fiducial points to define the celestial reference frame are known to have proper motions...

PublicationOptical spectral characterization of the gamma-ray blazars S4 0954+65, TXS 1515-273, and RX J0812.0+0237
The study of gamma-ray blazars is usually hindered due to the lack of information on their redshifts and on their low-energy photon fields. This information is...
