Understand

The optical properties of the z = 0.435 quasar PKS 1222+216 (4C+21.35) are summarized since the discovery of impressive gamma-ray activity in this source by Fermi/LAT.

Unlike several other gamma-ray-bright blazars, there appears to be little connection between optical and gamma-ray activity.
Spectropolarimetry shows this object to be a composite system with optical emission from both a polarized, variable synchrotron power-law and unpolarized light from a stable blue continuum source (+broad emission-line region) contributing to the observed spectrum.
Spectrophotometry over a period of about two years does not detect significant variability in the strong, broad emission lines, despite large optical continuum variations.
