We present optical spectrophotometric observations for 50 blazars obtained in 13 different campaigns over a 7 year period. The spectral flux distribution is...
Optical Spectroscopic Survey of a Sample of Unidentified Fermi Objects
We present optical spectroscopy secured at the 10 m Gran Telescopio Canarias of the counterparts of 20 extragalactic γ-ray sources detected by the Fermi...
Optical Spectroscopic Survey of a Sample of Unidentified Fermi Objects: II
We report on optical spectroscopy obtained at the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias of 28 Fermi γ-ray sources that completes the study of a sample of 60 targets...
Optical spectroscopy and near-infrared mapping of S 106
The bipolar outflow region S 106 is studied with optical spectroscopy and IR mapping techniques. The physical conditions in the ionized region, the density...
Optical spectroscopy and photometry of SAX J1808.4-3658 in outburst
We present phase resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry of V4580 Sagittarii, the optical counterpart to the accretion powered millisecond pulsar SAX J1808...
Optical spectroscopy of 4U 1812-12. An ultra-compact X-ray binary seen through an H II region
The persistent low-luminosity neutron star X-ray binary 4U 1812-12 is a potential member of the scarce family of ultra-compact systems. We performed deep...
Optical spectroscopy of Arp220: the star formation history of the closest ULIRG
We present long-slit, optical spectra of the merging system Arp220, obtained using the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) on La Palma. These data were taken as a...
Optical spectroscopy of BL Lac objects: TeV candidates
We investigate the spectroscopic optical properties of gamma-ray sources detected with high significance above 50 GeV in the Third Catalog of Hard Fermi-LAT...
Optical spectroscopy of blazars for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Context. Blazars are the most numerous class of high-energy (HE; E ∼ 50 MeV−100 GeV) and very high-energy (VHE; E ∼ 100 GeV−10 TeV) gamma-ray emitters...
