Abstract:
Seven BL Lac objects have been photometrically observed in an effort
to study the difference of optical intraday variability between the
radio-selected BL Lac objects (RBLs) and X-ray-selected BL Lac objects
(XBLs). The objects we observed are selected arbitrarily. They are
four RBLs, PKS 0735+178, PKS 0754+101, OJ 287 and BL Lac, and three
XBLs, H 0323+022, H 0548-322 and H 2154-304. During the observation
all of them exhibited microvariation, and H 0323+022 and H 0548-322
sometimes showed brightness oscillation. PKS 0735+178 and BL Lac were
in their faint states and not very active. It seems that RBLs do not
show microvariability more frequently than XBLs.
