An optical and infrared study of blazars [PDF]
, 1988 This thesis presents a study of some of the optical and infrared properties of blazars. A review of previous observations of blazars is given. The evidence for bulk relativistic flows in quasars and blazars is also discussed. The observational study has

The Blazar Sequence and Its Physical Understanding
Galaxies, 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 ...

Discovery of Hidden Blazars [PDF]
Science, 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 ...

The CLASS blazar survey: testing the blazar sequence [PDF]
Monthly 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 ...

Universe, 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 ...

Near infrared polarimetry of a sample of blazars*
EPJ 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.

Relativistic Jets of Blazars [PDF]
, 2022 Relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei have been known to exist for 100 years. Blazars with their jet pointing close to our line of sight are some of the most variable and extreme objects in the universe, showing emission from radio to very-high ...

, 2020 International audienceThe uncharted territory of the high-redshift (z ≳ 3) universe holds the key to understanding the evolution of quasars. In an attempt to identify the most extreme members of the quasar population, that is, blazars, we have carried ...

Asca Observations of Blazars [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1998 During the last years it has become evident that blazar class of AGN emit a lot of energy in the gamma-ray regime. It is generally thought that the non-thermal emission from blazars, observed from radio to GeV/TeV 7-rays, is radiation of very energetic particles via both synchrotron and Compton processes.
