Scientific paper

We are conducting a long-term monitoring campaign of the optical and near-IR magnitudes of gamma-ray bright blazars using the SMARTS 1.3m telescope and ANDICAM instrument. We report a strong optical and IR flare in the blazar 3C 454.3 concurrent with the present extraordinarily high gamma-ray activity (ATel #2328, ATel #2326, ATel #2322), peaking on UT 2009 December 03 with B=14.98, V=14.39, R=13.83, J=11.94, K=10.08.
