We present preliminary results from the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) campaign carried out in February 1999 on the blazar 0716+714. This campaign represents the first quasi-successful attempt to monitor a blazar very intensively during all 24 hours for a period of a few days. These data allow an insight into the intraday variability (IDV) properties of the source. Moreover, an upper limit to the possible time delay between variations in different optical bands can be fixed thanks to the high density (and quality) of some datasets.

Abstract
We present preliminary results from the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) campaign carried out in February 1999 on the blazar 0716+714. This campaign represents the first quasi-successful attempt to monitor a blazar very intensively during all 24 hours for a period of a few days. These data allow an insight into the intraday variability (IDV) properties of the source. Moreover, an upper limit to the possible time delay between variations in different optical bands can be fixed thanks to the high density (and quality) of some datasets.File in questo prodotto:
