Abstract:
Results of a 3-year monitoring programme at 327 MHz with the Ooty Synthesis
Radio Telescope are presented. The majority of the sample consists of BL
Lac objects, high-optical polarization quasars (HPQ) and low-optical
polarization quasars (LPQ). In addition, a few known variable sources,
GHz-peaked spectrum sources and compact doubles were also added. Including
an additional set of 36 control and calibrator sources, a total of 82
sources were observed at roughly 3-month intervals for about 3 years. We
find 19 variable and 6 possibly-variable sources. However, the observed
by their optical properties.
