Blazars belong to the most violently variable astronomical objects, showing variations in all observed frequences in time scales from minutes to years. Understanding the mechanisms responcible for these variations are crucial for our understanding of these sources. During the last few years a lot of progress has been made in these studies, the most important advance has occured within the multiwavelength monitoring campaigns.

Abstract
Blazars belong to the most violently variable astronomical objects, showing variations in all observed frequences in time scales from minutes to years. Understanding the mechanisms responcible for these variations are crucial for our understanding of these sources. During the last few years a lot of progress has been made in these studies, the most important advance has occured within the multiwavelength monitoring campaigns. Here we will discus the relevance of long term intensive optical monitoring of blazars, showing some examples of the type of information one can get out from such monitoring.File in questo prodotto:
