	Eroge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eroge may be bishōjo games, GxB, or BL games, although girl games are the most popular.
		Strip versions of traditional games, including but not limited to mahjong, pachinko, poker, chess and blackjack.
		As the amount of interactive game play is limited for most of these translated games, they are sometimes considered better as visual novels (and sometimes even interactive) for the PC rather than computer games in the usual sense of the word.

	Lacerta
		BL Lac was discovered quite early, and first believed to be a star, and therefore named like variable star s.
		The active galaxy BL Lacertae is one of the notable objects within this constellation.
		Lacerta (genitive Lacertae, abbreviation Lac), the Lizard, is one of the minor constellations.

	Blazar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BL Lacertae shows many of the characteristics of quasars, but the optical spectrum was devoid of the spectral lines used to detemine redshift.
		Faint indications of an underlying galaxy — proof that BL Lacertae was not a star — was found in 1974.
		BL Lacertae and a powerful radio source was made.

	BL Lac object - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BL Lacs are classified as a subtype of blazar, the most energetic type of active galaxy.
		BL Lacs are based on the prototype BL Lacertae galaxy, which is higly variable.
		A BL Lac object or BL Lacertae object or BL Lac is a type of galaxy with an active galactic nucleus (AGN), making it a type of active galaxy.

	Talk:Blazar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BL Lac objects are specific types of active galaxies, while Blazars are a grabbag of several different kinds of active galaxies, including BL Lac objects, and some subtypes of quasars, amongst others.
		BL Lac and Blazar are not the same things.
		This article needs to be separated into Blazar and BL Lac, and cleaned up to separate the content properly.

	Blazar
		BL is a progressive ID not unlike car plates, and Lacerta is the constellation where it resides.
		In astronomy, blazar, also known as BL Lac Objects or BL Lacertaes, are bright, starlike objects that can vary rapidly in their luminosity.
		Anyway, it is clear that the BL Lac class is far from understood, and that it will possibly be divided into different classes of similar-appearing, but physically different objects.

	Anime game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gender focus of anime games can be none in particular, all pairings, a bishōjo game, GxG, GxB, or a BL game.
		Anime games are computer or video games that are based on anime or manga, or use an art style commonly stereotyped as "anime" in their presentation (technically, anime is not an art style, though many follow a certain trend), or upon which anime or manga have been made.
		The phrase bishōjo game is often used to refer to any game with anime-style graphics, although it technically refers only to the large majority with attractive female anime characters.

	Luyten 726-8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BL Ceti (Luyten 726-8 A) is also catalogued as G 272-061, GCTP 343.10A, LHS 9.
		Although UV Ceti was not the first flare star discovered, it is the most prominent example of such a star, and in fact flare stars are sometimes called "UV Ceti variables".
		Soon after it was discovered that the fainter B component of this system was a flare star, and it was accordingly given the variable star designation UV Ceti.

	eSky: Lacerta
		The core's variability can change vary rapidly over short periods of time, and for this reason BL Lacertae was at first mistaken for a variable star.
		Lacerta outlines a region that falls between two spiral arms of our Galaxy : hence its stars are generally distant and faint as seen from Earth.
		Though Lacerta is relatively lacking in interesting objects, it does lie on the Milky Way, and as we would expect it is not entirely devoid of features.

	BL Lacertae object (BL Lac object)
		BL Lac objects belong to the category of AGN now known as blazars and are believed to be essentially quasars viewed directly down the axis of their powerful jets.
		The prototype, in Lacerta, was originally classified as a variable star.

	AAVSO: BL Lac, January 2001 Variable Star of the Month
		It is the prototype of the BL Lac class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN).
		BL Lac objects & blazars are highly variable and exhibit a featureless spectrum.
		BL Lac was one of only two known (non-cepheid) extragalactic variable stars at the time.

	VLBA observations of BL Lac
		BL Lac, as it became called, also varies at radio, infrared and x-ray wavelengths and its emissions are strongly polarized.
		From 1998 to 2001, we observed BL Lac at very high resolution using the Very Long Baseline Array (Monthly Notices Roy.
		Seventeen sets of observations were made at a wavelength of 6.9 mm and with an angular resolution of 0.0002" (equivalent to being able to see an individual astronaut on the moon), and these were combined with observations at 1 mm using the James Clerk Maxwell telescope (Fig 1).

	BL Lacertae Objects
		BL Lac was not a periodic variable, but rather it's intensity varied irregularly with no apparent pattern to the brightening and dimming.
		BL Lacertae objects are now classified as a type of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN).
		Later in 1974, two Caltech astronomers (James E. Gunn and J. Oke) determined that BL Lac was actually located in a normal elliptical galaxy by blocking the light from the central part of the object.

	Whitney Wills: LONG TERM MONITORING OF BL LACERTAE OBJECTS WITH THE BELL OBSERVATORY AT WESTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
		BL Lacertae objects are the most extreme members of a class of objects known as Active Galactic Nuclei.
		BL Lacs are the most extreme example of an AGN with highly variable continuum emission as one of their defining characteristics.
		Both 0716+714 and BL Lacertae were observed in the B and I filters, while OJ 287 and 3C 66A were observed in the V and I filters.

	THE CFHT IMAGING SURVEY OF BL LACERTAE OBJECTS II:
		As a minimum the "parent population" of BL Lacs must be modified to exclude the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in rich clusters at low redshift.
		Various subsamples of BL Lacs with unique qualities (e.g., presence/absence of weak emission lines, high/low optical core dominance or polarization, Xray vs. radio selected, etc.) have statistically similar clustering properties further arguing that these BL Lacs are all members of the same AGN class.
		Contrary to the expectations of unification schemes for BL Lacs, the clustering environments of BL Lacs, at both high and low redshift, are more similar to those of FR 2 radio galaxies and quasars than to those of FR 1's.

	[11.04] Color Variations of Two Blazars: BL Lac and PKS 0736+017
		BL Lac was observed at Rosemary Hill Observatory in Bronson, Florida and PKS 0736+017 was observed with the SARA telescope on Kitt Peak in Arizona.
		Multi-night campaigns to monitor sources for microvariability were undertaken in the summer of 1997 for BL Lac and in early 2002 for PKS 0736+017.
		This is observed in the BL Lac data.

	ST ScI Preprint #1397
		BL Lac objects have extended radio powers and host galaxy magnitudes very much like those of FR I galaxies, and quite distinct from FR IIs, which instead are more similar to quasars.
		The host galaxies of the radio-selected and X-rayselected BL Lac objects are comparable in both morphology and luminosity, strongly suggesting that nuclear properties do not have a dramatic effect on large-scale host galaxy properties, or vice versa.
		The half-light surface brightness is anticorrelated with half-light radius in quantitatively the same way as other elliptical galaxies, indicating that apart from their highly active nuclei, BL Lac objects appear to be absolutely normal ellipticals.

	Richard A. Bartle: March, 1997 interview
		BL is coded in BCPL, the fore-runner of C. However, the game is defined in MUDDL, the fore-runner of MUDDLE.
		The players played BL at different times, which meant they had to have a certain amount of dedication (playing between midnight and 6 am!), but then BL players need dedication to pay to play.
		The name was changed because CompuServe's games product manager didn't believe that people would play a game with a name that sounded like dirt, and she called it British Legends because that excused the fact that it used British spellings for words rather than American.

	Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon: Xbox Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		If you remember the Double Dragon games, smooth control wasn’t always there and you were forced to take on enemies where the game wanted you to based on the in-game camera in a lot of instances instead of you finding a nice spot for defensive and offensive moves against multiple clones of thugs.
		The biggest flaws that cripple BL: QOTD worse than a dragon punch to the face is the unmanageable control scheme of Bruce Lee during battles due in large part to the horrifically designed fixed camera mechanism.
		Also, the game never clearly plots out the path you should be taking, instead relying on the dreaded (and infamous) invisible wall – an unseen barrier that is just plain ridiculous and at times blocks areas of the game where it looks like you should be able to move.

	Epsilon Eridani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its closest neighbour is Luyten 726-8 ( UV Ceti and BL Ceti), 5.22 ly (1.60 pc) away.
		Tau Ceti is a much better candidate, and like Epsilon Eridani, is also deficient in iron.
		It has 85% of the Sun 's mass, almost that much of its diameter, and 28% of its luminosity.

	Aestheticism Articles Yaoi etc definitions
		BL is an extension of shoujo and Lady's categories, but is considered a separate category.
		BL novels are immensely popular - the number of novels published each month outnumbers manga tankoubon by about 2 to 1.
		The change in terminology was probably due to the negative connotations of the term yaoi and the association with a specific publication of the term June.

	BL Lacertae - Iridis Encyclopedia
		BL Lacertae is a highly variable, extragalactic AGN originally thought to be an irregular variable star in our own galaxy and so was given a variable star designation.
		In the 1970s the "star" was identified with a bright, variable radio source and a faint trace of a galaxy was found.
		It is the original member of a type of blazar known as "BL Lacertae objects," also termed simply "BL Lac objects."

	Modeling BL Lacertae in 2000
		Based on this result, a detailed model simulation of such a flaring scenario, reproducing the observed optical and X-ray spectral variability and broadband SED of BL Lacertae during the BeppoSAX pointing around Nov. 1, 2000, simultaneously, is presented.
		Subsequently, we investigate various flaring scenarios for comparison with the observed short-term variability of BL Lacertae in 2000.
		Our leptonic modeling results are compared to fits using the hadronic synchrotron-proton blazar (SPB) model.

	Optical Variability of the Blazar BL Lacertae
		BL Lacertae, a complex, highly variable blazar, has been observed at optical wavelengths for 13 years with Colgate University’s Foggy Bottom Observatory 16” telescope equipped with a CCD camera.
		During this period BL Lac varied between R = 14.4 and 12.4; at least two distinct flares were observed.
		Investigation of the variability allows us to probe the physical processes of this object, the prototype for the BL Lac category.

	BL Lacertae
		The multiwavelength spectrum of BL Lacertae during its July 1997 outburst is analyzed in terms of different variations of the homogeneous leptonic jet model for the production of high-energy radiation from blazars.
		In the appendix, we describe the formalism in which the process of Comptonization of reprocessed accretion disk photons is treated in the previously developed blazar jet simulation code which we use.
		Our analysis indicates that in BL Lacertae, un like other BL Lac objects, the broad emission line region plays an important role for the high-energy emission.
