Infrared Variation of Blazars

preprint1999arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, the historical infrared (JHK) data compiled from the published literature are presented here for 30 blazars. Maximum near-IR variations are found and compared with the optical ones. For the color-magnitude relation, some objects show that the color index increases with magnitude while 1253-055 shows complex behaviour, which perhaps suggests that the emission mechanism consists of, at least, two parts. The spectral indexes are in the range of αIRα_{IR} = 0.77 to 2.37.
