A large monitoring project, OJ-94, was set up with the aim of monitoring the blazar OJ 287 during the predicted optical outburst (in fall 1994, Sillanpaa et al. 1988) and simultaneously to collect a large data base for a small sample of blazars. Through this campaign we have obtained the best ever obtained optical light curve for any extragalactic object. The most prominent feature in the occurring at the beginning of November.

Abstract
A large monitoring project, OJ-94, was set up with the aim of monitoring the blazar OJ 287 during the predicted optical outburst (in fall 1994, Sillanpaa et al. 1988) and simultaneously to collect a large data base for a small sample of blazars. Through this campaign we have obtained the best ever obtained optical light curve for any extragalactic object. The most prominent feature in the occurring at the beginning of November. This outburst occurred almost exactly at the predicted time.File in questo prodotto:
