However, its gamma-ray flux, both in the H.E.S.S. very-high and the Fermi-LAT high-energy gamma-ray regimes, is relatively faint, hampering lightcurve analyses. Yet, the extensive long-term light curve data from Fermi-LAT and Swift-BAT (hard X-rays) allows for cross-correlation studies. We find a hint that X-ray emission from Cen A precedes the gamma rays by 25 days. If this lag is real and related to a gamma-gamma absorption effect in the broad-line region (BLR) around the central source, then we can constrain the size of the BLR using light-travel time arguments. These are first results of extended light curve correlation studies between high-energy gamma rays and X-rays from Cen A.","PeriodicalId":366250,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 5th Annual Conference on High Energy Astrophysics in Southern Africa — PoS(HEASA2017)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127329313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we study the reduction of the EBL gamma-gamma opacity due to the existence of underdense regions along the line of sight to VHE gamma-ray sources and the possibility of a Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) signature. Therefore, we study whether one or both of these effects could be suitable to explain the spectral hardening observed in a few VHE gamma-ray sources. \u0000We found that, although the cosmic opacity for VHE gamma rays with energy more than 10 TeV can be strongly reduced, the spectral hardening feature observed in some VHE gamma-ray blazars with energy from 300 GeV up to few TeVs (e.g. PKS 1424+240) still remains puzzling.","PeriodicalId":366250,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 5th Annual Conference on High Energy Astrophysics in Southern Africa — PoS(HEASA2017)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129995130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The outburst light curve looks remarkably symmetric, with a total duration of $sim$300 days. The optical spectra from SALT show a strong emission line of He II $lambda$4686, He I and some weak Balmer lines. The X-ray and near ultraviolet fluxes correlate with the optical brightness.

A selection of results from a multi-wavelength follow-up study of CV systems, showing high levels of transient emission, will be discussed. This will also be used to demonstrate how essential dedicated radio and gamma-ray telescopes like MeerKAT and the forth-coming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) are to complete our understanding of these sources and associated eruptive processes in general.

The observations were performed during February 2017, with the SpUpNIC spectrograph on the 1.9-m telescope. Possible counterparts for the unassociated sources were determined by cross-matching objects using archival multi-wavelength data from Radio, Infrared and X-ray catalogues. Classifications were obtained for all the observed BCUs and redshifts were determined for two of them. Redshift measurements were obtained for the optical candidates of both the unassociated sources observed.
