| Abstract: |
Blazars are extremely variable objects showing flux variations on time scales from minutes to years and emitting radiation along the whole electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore both monitoring and multi-wavelength observations are highly important.
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is operational since five years. Thanks to the novel photosensors (SiPM, aka G-APDs) it is ideally suited for monitoring. An automatic quick-look analysis allows for fast alerts to other instruments to foster multi-wavelength observations. The presentation will give an overview of long-term observations at TeV energies with a focus on the results from FACT from the last five years. Bonus: Live-Demonstration of FACT observations As FACT is located on the Canary Island La Palma, this gives us the chance to have after the presentation a live-demonstration of the FACT observations for everybody who is interested. |
