Abstract
We have observed a period of rapid and intense optical-infrared brightness and polarization variability in the quasar 3C 279. The observations were obtained as part of an ongoing study of the optical-infrared continuum evolution in a sample of optically violent variable (OVV) quasars and BL Lacertae objects. Simultaneous broadband UBVRI photometric and polarimetric observations are used to study the optical continuum spectral evolution and wavelength dependent linear polarization and to search for broad near-ultraviolet continuum spectral components.
