Abstract

We present results of optical observations of the extremely violently variable blazar S4 0954+65 on intra-night time scales. The object showed flux changes of up to 100% within a few hours. Time delays between optical bands, color changes and "rms-flux" relations are investigated and the results are discussed in terms of existing models of blazar variability.<br />Comment: 5 pages, accepted for publication in the special issue of Galaxies, "Blazars through Sharp Multi-wavelength Eyes", edited by J. L. G\'omez, A. P. Marscher, and S. G. Jorstad
