BL-Lac objects and optically violent variable quasars (OVVs), called together blazars, are characterized by rapid time variability, strong optical polarization, superluminal expansion and strong gamma-ray emission. Such properties are understood in the framework of a relativistic jet emanated from the central powerhouse. Blazars are considered to be objects for which the direction of the jet is very close to the line of sight.
