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 ...

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.

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 ...

Neutrino Detection Rates from Lepto-hadronic Model Simulations of Bright Blazar Flares

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
There is mounting evidence that blazars are the sources of part of the very-high-energy astrophysical neutrino flux detected by IceCube. In particular, there have been several spatial and temporal coincidences of individual IceCube neutrino events with ...

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 ...

Universal Stochastic Process in Blazar Gamma-Ray Variability Revealed by Bayesian Kernel Comparison

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Although Gaussian processes have been widely applied in modeling the high-energy light curves of blazars, a systematic comparison of the performances of different kernel functions within Gaussian processes has remained lacking.

A Search for Millimeter-bright Blazars as Astrophysical Neutrino Sources

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The powerful jets of blazars have been historically considered as likely sites of high-energy cosmic-ray acceleration. However, the particulars of the launched jet and the locations of leptonic and hadronic jet loading remain unclear.

VLBI Analysis of a Potential High-Energy Neutrino Emitter Blazar

open access: yesUniverse
Recent studies suggest that high-energy neutrinos can be produced in the jets of blazars, radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) with jets pointing close to the line of sight.

BlazEr1: The eROSITA Blazar Catalog. Blazars and Blazar Candidates in the First eROSITA Survey

open access: yes
Aims. eROSITA on board of the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) spacecraft performed its first X-ray all-sky survey (eRASS1) between December 2019 and June 2020. It detected about 930000 sources, providing us with an unprecedented opportunity for a detailed blazar census.
