Polarized blazar X-rays imply particle acceleration in shocks [PDF]

open access: hybridNature, 2022
Most of the light from blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets of magnetized plasma that point nearly along the line of sight, is produced by high-energy particles, up to around 1 TeV.

High-energy neutrino flux from individual blazar flares [PDF]

open access: bronzeMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
Motivated by the recently reported evidence of an association between a high-energy neutrino and a γ-ray flare from the blazar TXS 0506+056, we calculate the expected high-energy neutrino signal from past, individual flares, from 12 blazars, selected ...

The first blazar observed at z > 6 [PDF]

open access: bronzeAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
We present the discovery of PSO J030947.49+271757.31, the radio brightest (23.7 mJy at 1.4 GHz) active galactic nucleus (AGN) at z >  6.0. It was selected by cross-matching the NRAO VLA Sky Survey and the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response ...

Constraints on the Intergalactic Magnetic Field Using Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. Blazar Observations [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Magnetic fields in galaxies and galaxy clusters are believed to be the result of the amplification of intergalactic seed fields during the formation of large-scale structures in the universe.

IXPE and Multiwavelength Observations of Blazar PG 1553+113 Reveal an Orphan Optical Polarization Swing [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The lower-energy peak of the spectral energy distribution of blazars has commonly been ascribed to synchrotron radiation from relativistic particles in the jets.

Blazar-boosted dark matter at Super-Kamiokande [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2022
Dark matter particles near the center of a blazar, after being accelerated by the elastic collisions with relativistic electrons and protons in the blazar jet, can be energetic enough to trigger detectable signals at terrestrial detectors.

Kinematics of Parsec-scale Jets of Gamma-Ray Blazars at 43 GHz during 10 yr of the VLBA-BU-BLAZAR Program [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022
We analyze the parsec-scale jet kinematics from 2007 June to 2018 December of a sample of γ-ray bright blazars monitored roughly monthly with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 43 GHz under the VLBA-BU-BLAZAR program.

Direct Detection Constraints on Blazar-Boosted Dark Matter. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2021
We explore the possibility that relativistic protons in the extremely powerful jets of blazars may boost via elastic collisions the dark matter particles in the surroundings of the source to high energies.

Neutrino emission from the direction of the blazar TXS 0506+056 prior to the IceCube-170922A alert [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2018
Neutrino emission from a flaring blazar Neutrinos interact only very weakly with matter, but giant detectors have succeeded in detecting small numbers of astrophysical neutrinos.
