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 ...

BL Lac Contribution to the Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Very high energy gamma-rays from blazars traversing cosmological distances through the metagalactic radiation field can convert into electron-positron pairs in photon-photon collisions. The converted gamma-rays initiate electromagnetic cascades driven by

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.

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.

Near infrared polarimetry of a sample of blazars*

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Polarization variability is one of the most ubiquitous characteristic of blazars. Near infrared (NIR)polarization measurements of blazars are not common, contrary to the optical ones.

The Spectral Energy Distribution of Fermi bright blazars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
(Abridged) We have conducted a detailed investigation of the broad-band spectral properties of the \gamma-ray selected blazars of the Fermi LAT Bright AGN Sample (LBAS).

The Parsec-Scale Jets of the TeV Blazars H 1426+428, 1ES 1959+650, and PKS 2155-304: 2001-2004 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the TeV blazars H 1426+428, 1ES 1959+650, and PKS 2155-304 obtained during the years 2001 through 2004.

Discovery of Hidden Blazars [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2001
Every radio-loud quasar may have blazar activities, according to a unified scheme where the differences in both optical and radio observations of radio-loud quasars are the result of different viewing angles. We have predicted that blazars may be detected using emission line ratio variations caused by variable illumination of gas clouds in the broad ...
