Multi-wavelength observations of flaring blazars with ATOM and Fermi-LAT

Abstract

The Automatic Telescope for Optical Monitoring is a 75cm optical telescope located at the H.E.S.S. site in Namibia. Since 2005, it monitors around 250 gamma-ray emitting AGN and has observed numerous blazar flares in several colour bands with multiple measurements during any given night. We present recent flaring events of two FSRQ – 3C 279 and CTA 102 – together with corresponding multi-wavelength data including Fermi-LAT, and examine possible correlations between energy bands
