The Blazar Sequence and Its Physical Understanding

open access: yesGalaxies, 2022
Introduced in 1998 to attempt a first unified view of the broad-band emission properties of blazars, the blazar sequence has been extensively used in the past 25 years to guide observations as well as the physical interpretation of the overall emission ...

Multiwavelength astrophysics of the blazar OJ 287 and the project MOMO

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 4, May 2023., 2023
Abstract We are carrying out the densest and longest multiyear, multiwavelength monitoring project of OJ 287 ever done. The project MOMO (Multiwavelength Observations and Modeling of OJ 287) covers wavelengths from the radio to the high‐energy regime. A few selected observations are simultaneous with those of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).

To what extent a modern teaching style benefits students? Why do teachers act the way they do?

open access: yesJournal of Computer Assisted Learning, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 578-590, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Background The growth of teaching practices conducted to promote cognitive activation and active participation in the classroom in recent years has become the epicentre of an active debate regarding their effectiveness. Objectives This study is aimed to shed some light on this topic by empirically analysing the causes and consequences of more ...

Blazar Optical Variability in the Palomar-QUEST Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study the ensemble optical variability of 276 FSRQs and 86 BL Lacs in the Palomar-QUEST Survey with the goal of searching for common fluctuation properties, examining the range of behavior across the sample, and characterizing the appearance of ...

The Nature of Micro-Variability in Blazars

open access: yesGalaxies, 2021
We present the results of a long-term study designed to investigate the nature of micro-variability in blazars carried out primarily at the Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA) observatories.

The contribution of Fermi-2LAC blazars to the diffuse TeV-PeV neutrino flux [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The recent discovery of a diffuse cosmic neutrino flux extending up to PeV energies raises the question of which astrophysical sources generate this signal. One class of extragalactic sources which may produce such high-energy neutrinos are blazars.

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 ...

A Machine Learning Approach for Predicting Black Hole Mass in Blazars Using Broadband Emission Model Parameters

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Blazars are observed to emit non-thermal radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum from the radio to the very-high-energy γ-ray region. The broadband radiation measured from a blazar is dominated by emission from a relativistic plasma jet ...

The space density of z>4 blazars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
High redshift blazars are an important class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) that can provide an independent estimate of the supermassive black-hole mass function in high redshift radio-loud AGN without the bias due to absorption along the line-of-sight.
