H. R. Miller, J. R. Eggen, J. D. Maune
TL;DR
This study monitors optical polarization and gamma-ray flux in a radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy, finding weak correlation but no conclusive evidence of jet-aligned emissions.
Contribution
It provides observational data on optical and gamma-ray variability in a specific galaxy type, exploring jet emission characteristics.
Findings
Weak correlation between gamma-ray and optical variability
No conclusive evidence of a relativistic jet aligned with the line-of-sight
Observational constraints on emission mechanisms
Abstract
The results of monitoring the optical polarization and the gamma-ray flux for the radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy is reported. We have detected a weak correlation between the gamma-ray variability and the optical variability. However, these observations do not provide conclusive evidence that the emissions are due to a relativistic jet oriented close to the line-of-sight to the observer.
