Multi-Band Optical Variability Characteristics of the $\gamma$-ray emitting blazar 1ES 0647+250 during its 2020 flare

We present a multi-band optical variability study of the $\gamma$-ray emitting high-synchrotron-peaked blazar 1ES~0647+250 during its enhanced optical activity in 2020. The analysis utilizes 107 epochs of high-precision $B$, $V$, and $R$-band photometry obtained with the 75 cm telescope at the Vainu Bappu Observatory,...
