A tool to understand emission mechanisms of blazars through their high‐energy gamma‐ray emission

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 6, August 2023., 2023
The blazar SED is characterized by two energy components. Evidence suggests that the low‐energy component is generated by the synchrotron mechanism, but for the high‐energy component, the mechanism is still uncertain. Two main models have been proposed to explain this emission. According to the leptonic model, a correlation between the emission of both

A Search for Blazar-Like Radio-Loud Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
We report the results of an observational program to investigate the gamma-ray and optical variability properties of the vRL NLSY1 galaxies listed in the Yuan et al. sample. We have identified 17 members of the Yuan et al. sample possibly associated with

Is OJ 287 a Single Supermassive Black Hole?

open access: yesUniverse, 2020
Light curves for more than century optical photometric observations of the blazar OJ 287 reveals strong flares with a quasi-period of about 12 years. For a long time, this period has been interpreted by processes in a binary black hole system. We propose

Evolving parsec-scale radio structure in the most distant blazar known [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Blazars are a sub-class of quasars with Doppler boosted jets oriented close to the line of sight, and thus efficient probes of supermassive black hole growth and their environment, especially at high redshifts.

The impact of guardian's usage of the Internet on children's cognitive skills

open access: yesInternational Studies of Economics, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 193-210, June 2023., 2023
Abstract In the digital age, the internet has become an essential source of information gathering and maintains a network of social contact. In this paper, we use microdata from the China Family Panel Studies to examine the effects of guardian's internet use on teenager's cognitive skills.

What We Talk about When We Talk about Blazars?

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017
After the discovery of powerful relativistic jets from Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies, and the understanding of their similarity with those of blazars, a problem of terminology was born.

The “Blazar Sequence” in the TeV Band

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The “blazar sequence” has been proposed for more than 20 yr, yet its nature is still unclear. In this work, for the first time we expand this topic to the TeV band by using a sample of 58 TeV blazars, including 48 blazars in the quiescent state and 21 ...

The CLASS blazar survey: testing the blazar sequence [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2004
We discuss the properties of the sources in the CLASS Blazar survey which aims at the selection of low radio power (P(5GHz)<10^25 W Hz^-1) blazars. We use VLA data from available catalogues and from our own observations to constrain the radio core-dominance of the sample which, together with the flat radio spectral index, is a signature of the ...

The Fermi blazar sequence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We revisit the blazar sequence exploiting the complete, flux limited sample of blazars with known redshift detected by the Fermi satellite after 4 years of operations (the 3LAC sample).
