Abstract

We continuously monitored the blazar S5 0716+714 in the optical g, r, and i bands from 2017 November 10 to 2019 June 6. The total number of observations is 201 nights including 26973 data points. This is a very large quasi-simultaneous multicolor sample for the blazar. The average time spans and time resolutions are 3.4hr and 2.9min per night, respectively. During the period of observations, the target source in the r band brightens from 14.16m to 12.29m together with five prominent subflares, and then becomes fainter to 14.76m, and again brightens to 12.94m with seven prominent subflares. For the long-term variations, we find a strong flatter-when-brighter (FWB) trend at a low-flux state and then a weak FWB trend at a higher-flux state. A weak FWB trend at a low-flux state and then a strong FWB trend at a higher-flux state are also reported. Most subflares show strong FWB trends, except for two flares with a weak FWB trend. The particle acceleration and cooling mechanisms together with the superposition of the different FWB slopes from the subflares likely explain the optical color behaviors. A scenario of bent jet is discussed.
