Scientific paper

Low mass X-ray binary systems and γ-ray loud BL Lacs are violently variable objects that are currently being studied intensively at X-ray energies, using the Chandra and RXTE satellites. Our observing program, carried out through the National Undergraduate Research Observatory using the Lowell Observatory 31" telescope, involves optical monitoring of these objects. Some are known to vary optically by as much as eight magnitudes, but others have only a POSS magnitude published. We have observed some that are currently active. Others are expected to become active soon, and still others have been observed significantly fainter than their published "quiescent" magnitudes.
