Characterizing the optical variability of bright blazars: Variability-based selection of fermi active galactic nuclei
We investigate the use of optical photometric variability to select and identify blazars in large-scale time-domain surveys, in part to aid in the identification of blazar counterparts to the ~ 30% of ?-ray sources in the Fermi 2FGL catalog still lacking reliable associations. Using data from the op...
