Proposal

This proposal will observe six Very High Energy (VHE) objects. VHE objects emit gamma rays greater than 100 GeV. These six VHE objects were detected by the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma ray observatory, and are optically underobserved (less than 100 observations). Two targets are Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) and four are BL Lacertae (BLLACs). These targets are:

QSO B1222+216 (FSRQ): 12:24:54.45, +21:22:46.3

QSO B0346-279 (FSRQ): 03:48:38.14, -27:49:13.6

NSV 21875 (BLLAC): 17:25:04.34, +11:52:15.5

QSO B1426+428 (BLLAC): 14:28:32.61, +42:40:21.0

PG 1424+240 (BLLAC): 14:27:00.39, +23:48:00.0

1ES 0033+59.5 (BLLAC): 00:35:52.55, +59:50:04.2

Please observe with BVRI filters, 2 x 60 sec B, 2 x 60 sec V, 2 x 60 sec R, 2 x 60 sec I. A cadence of one observing run per week should be adequate. Please start as soon as possible and continue until July 1, 2024. Thank you.
