Light curves of 3C 279 are presented in optical (R band), X-rays
(RXTE/PCA), and γ rays (CGRO/EGRET) for 1999 January-February and
2000 January-March. During both of those epochs the γ-ray levels
were high and all three observed bands demonstrated substantial
variation, on timescales as short as 1 day. Correlation analyses
provided no consistent pattern, although a rather significant
optical/γ-ray correlation was seen in 1999, with a γ-ray lag
of ~2.5 days, and there are other suggestions of correlations in the
light curves. For comparison, correlation analysis is also presented for
the γ-ray and X-ray light curves during the large γ ray
flare in 1996 February and the two γ-bright weeks leading up to
it; the correlation at that time was strong, with a γ-ray/X-ray
offset of no more than 1 day.
