Two-injection Scenario for the Hard X-Ray Excess Observed in Mrk 421
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 An interesting result that was recently reported for Mrk 421 is the detection of a significant excess at hard X-ray energies, which could provide useful information to investigate particle acceleration and emission mechanisms in the relativistic jet ...

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 This paper presents the results of a detailed X-ray timing and spectral analysis of Mrk 501, which are based mainly on the Swift data obtained during 2021 February–2022 December. The source showed strongly enhanced X-ray activity, characterized by a long-

Radio Polarization of BL Lacertae Objects [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2006 In the present work, using the data base of the University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) at three radio frequencies (4.8 GHz, 8GHZ, and 14.5 GHz), we studied the polarization properties for 47 BL Lacertae objects: 38 radio selected BL Lac objects, 7 X-ray selected BL Lac objects, and two inter-middle objects (Mkn 421 and Mkn 501), and

ZBLLAC: A Spectroscopic Database of BL Lacertae Objects [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2020 Abstract This paper describes the database of optical spectra of BL Lacertae (BLL) objects (Z BLL objects) available at https://web.oapd.inaf.it/zbllac/. At present, it contains calibrated spectra for 295 BLL. For about 35% of them, we report a firm measure of redshift z, while for 35 sources we set a lower limit on z based on the ...

Gamma-ray Emission and Variability Processes in High-Energy-Peaked BL Lacertae Objects
Universe, 2023 BL Lac objects are active galactic nuclei notable for a beamed nonthermal radiation, which is generated in one of the relativistic jets forming a small angle to the observer’s line-of-sight.

Polarization and Variations of BL Lacertae Objects [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2001 Abstract BL Lacertae objects are an extreme subclass of AGNs showing rapid and large-amplitude variability, high and variable polarization, and core-dominated radio emissions. If a strong beaming effect is the cause of the extreme observation properties, one would expect that these properties would be correlated with each other. Based on

BL Lacertae objects as an evolutionary population [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986 If the BL Lac Objects are active nuclei with a beamed component that is dominant when directed at us, their observed luminosity function must comprise a flat faint branch: N(L)dL ∝ L1+1/pdL with p=4.5 (Urry and Shafer 1984). If this is flatter than the LF NP(L) of the parent objects at equal observed L, then we expect the counts of BL Lacs to flatten ...
