CONSTRAINTS ON THE MINIMUM ELECTRON LORENTZ FACTOR AND MATTER CONTENT OF JETS FOR A SAMPLE OF BRIGHT FERMI BLAZARS

open access: yes, 2014
We fit (quasi-)simultaneous multi-waveband spectral energy distributions for a sample of low-synchrotron-peaked (LSP) blazars with a one-zone leptonic model.

Extreme Blazars Observed with MAGIC: Second Catalog Release

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Extremely high-peaked BL Lac objects—also named extreme blazars —are among the most energetic and persistent extragalactic accelerators in the Universe, defined by a synchrotron emission peaking above 10 ^17 Hz in X-rays.

PKS J0805-0111: A Second Owens Valley Radio Observatory Blazar Showing Highly Significant Sinusoidal Radio Variability—The Tip of the Iceberg

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Owens Valley Radio Observatory observations of the supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidate PKS 2131−021 revealed, for the first time, six likely characteristics of the phenomenology exhibited by SMBHBs in blazars, of which the most unexpected ...

Extreme TeV Blazars and Lower Limits on Intergalactic Magnetic Fields

open access: yes, 2014
The intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) in cosmic voids can be indirectly probed through its effect on electro-magnetic cascades initiated by a source of TeV gamma rays, such as blazars, a subclass of active galactic nuclei. Blazars that are sufficiently

Modeling Blazar Broadband Emission with a Convolutional Neural Network. I. Synchrotron Self-Compton Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Modeling the multiwavelength spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of blazars provides key insights into the underlying physical processes responsible for the emission.

Extreme blazars

open access: yesAstroparticle Physics, 1999
TeV emission can be a common characteristic of low power blazars. This is in line with the sequence of blazars relating the observed bolometric luminosity with their overall spectral energy distribution. Detecting new TeV blazars, possibly at different redshifts, is important for studying the particle acceleration process operating in the jet, and it ...

From Equipartition to Curvature: The Spectral Evolution of 4FGL Blazars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We investigate the evolution of spectral energy distribution (SED) and underlying electron energy distribution (EED) by modeling the nearly simultaneous broadband spectra of selected bright 4FGL blazars, in the context of a combined cooling and ...

Optical Quasi-Periodic Oscillation of Blazar PKS 1440-389 in the TESS Light Curve

open access: yesUniverse
We report the results of time series analysis of blazar PKS 1440-389, observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in two sectors. We find that the source has a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) of about 3.1 days for sector 11 and around 3.

Spin Tetrad Formalism of Circular Polarization States in Relativistic Jets

open access: yesUniverse
Relativistic jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) have been a topic of peak interest in the high-energy astrophysics community for their uniquely dynamic nature and incredible radiative power emanating from supermassive black holes and similarly ...
