Abstract:
Variability is one of the extreme observational properties of BL
Lacertae objects. AO 0235+164 is a well-studied BL Lac throughout all
electromagnetic wavebands. In the present work, we show its optical
R-band photometric observations carried out during the period from
2006 November to 2012 December using the Ap6E CCD camera attached to
the primary focus of the 70cm meniscus telescope at Abastumani
Observatory, Georgia. During our monitoring period, it showed a large
variation of ΔR=4.88mag (14.19-19.07mag) and a short timescale
of ΔTv=73.5minutes. During the period of 2006 December to 2009
November, we made radio observations of the source using the 25m radio
telescope at Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory. By adopting a discrete
correlation function to the optical and radio observations we found
that the optical variation leads a radio variation of 23.2±12.9days.
