Following the Mahabal, A.A. etal, 2011 report (ATel #3321) of flaring blazars from CRTS, we have carried out
NIR photometry of these objects. Over all, the objects are brighter in the H band than previous photometry when available. Our results are summarized below, we list the object ID, the Julian Date
of our observations, the H magnitude and a brief comment.
CSS110503:114658+395834 2455689.8170 13.17 +/- 0.05 flaring (H = 14.65 on JD 2455667.7468), B21144+40.
CSS110501:145427+512434 2455689.8531 14.06 +/- 0.03 30% brighter than in 2MASS, SBS 1452+516.
CSS110428:130824+354637 2455689.9063 15.34 +/- 0.05 fading fast (was H = 16.06 +/- 0.17), 2mass13082370+3546373.
CSS110427:133245+472224 2455689.9391 15.95 +/- 0.08 flaring, not in 2MASS survey.
CSS110427:151437+445004 2455690.9038 15.65 +/- 0.04 fading fast, BZQ J1514+4450.
CSS110426:162542+411842 2455692.9698 14.84 +/- 0.05 flaring, not in 2MASS survey.
Observations were carried out with the 2.1m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory operated by the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (Mexico), equipped with the instrument CANICA a NIR camera. We encourage further multi wavelength coverage.
