A model for periodic blazars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
We describe a scenario to explain blazar periodicities with timescales of $\sim$ few years. The scenario is based on a binary super-massive black hole (SMBH) system in which one of the two SMBH carries a jet. We discuss the various mechanisms that can cause the jet to precess and produce corkscrew patterns through space with a scale of $\sim$ few pc ...

Investigation of Two Fermi-LAT Gamma-Ray Blazars Coincident with High-energy Neutrinos Detected by IceCube [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
After the identification of the gamma-ray blazar TXS 0506+056 as the first compelling IceCube neutrino source candidate, we perform a systematic analysis of all high-energy neutrino events satisfying the IceCube realtime trigger criteria.

Polarization Vector Rotations: Real, Spurious, Hidden and Imaginary

open access: yesGalaxies, 2016
Large and variable polarization is an inherent property of a majority of blazars. Systematic rotations of the polarization vector have been claimed for several blazars. In some cases, however, the reality of these rotations may be questionable.

Long-term optical monitoring of TeV emitting blazars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2018
We present ten years of R-band monitoring data of 31 northern blazars which were either detected at very high-energy (VHE) gamma rays or listed as potential VHE gamma-ray emitters.

Multi-messenger emission characteristics of blazars

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Multi-messenger observations and theories of astrophysical objects are rapidly becoming a critical research area in the astrophysics scientific community. In particular, point-like objects such as BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects, flat-spectrum radio quasars

The physical properties of candidate neutrino-emitter blazars [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
High-energy neutrinos detected by the IceCube Observatory provide a unique opportunity to study the origin of cosmic rays and the nature of the sources producing them.

Variability in blazars

open access: yesAstroparticle Physics, 1999
The kinetic energy of bulk relativistic plasma ejected from the central engine of blazars is converted into nonthermal particle energy in the comoving frame through a process of sweeping up material from the surrounding medium. The resulting deceleration of the bulk plasma introduces a number of effects which must be included in blazar modeling.

Multiwavelength properties of blazars [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Space Research, 1998
Blazar spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are double peaked and follow a self-similar sequence in luminosity. The so-called "blue" blazars, whose first SED component peaks at X-ray energies, are TeV sources, although with a relatively small fraction of their bolometric luminosities.

The Fermi blazar sequence [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 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). We divide the sources into gamma-ray luminosity bins, collect all the archival data for all blazars, and construct their spectral energy distribution (SED). We describe
