Scientific paper

For the past 9 years Western Kentucky University has been monitoring approximately 50 Blazar sources at the R-band optical wavelengths. The Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope provides a source of gamma-ray data publicly available for cross correlation analysis, and the recent release of the data has made this possible. Such an analysis will prove useful in understanding the processes present in the jets producing the observed emission in these AGN. This type of analysis is being conducted at Western Kentucky University, pulling together the optical data from the WKU telescope network as well as other public databases and comparing them to the released FGST data. Here we present the initial results from the cross-correlation analysis and apply it to sources of interest. This research is funded by the NASA Kentucky Space Grant Consortium.
