Ultrafast Variability in AGN Jets: Intermittency and Lighthouse Effect

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Gamma-ray flares from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) show substantial variability on ultrafast timescales (i.e., shorter than the light-crossing time of the AGN’s supermassive black hole).

Jet–Accretion System in the Nearby mJy Radio Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2021
Abstract It is generally thought that FRII radio galaxies host thin optically thick disks, while FRIs are powered by advection-dominated accretion flows. Sources with an efficient engine are optically classified as high-excitation radio galaxies (HERGs) and those with an inefficient motor as low-excitation radio galaxies (LERGs ...

Quantifying the Impact of Relativistic Precession on Tidal Disruption Event Light Curves

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 5, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impact of precession on the light curves of tidal disruption events (TDE).

Spectral Structure in FR II Radio Galaxies and Jets [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2001
Using spectral tomography to separate overlapping spectral features in a sample of FRII radio galaxies, we find a variety of spatial/spectral features that are not easily described in the context of current models. In particular, we find mixtures of flat and steep spectrum features in the hot spot regions, and non-monotonic spectral index gradients ...

Can the Symmetric Fermi and eROSITA Bubbles Be Produced by Tilted Jets?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope reveals two large bubbles in the Galaxy, extending nearly symmetrically ∼50° above and below the Galactic center (GC).

Finding Rare Quasars: VLA Snapshot Continuum Survey of FRI Quasar Candidates Selected from the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS)

open access: yesGalaxies, 2021
The radiative and jet power in active galactic nuclei is generated by accretion of material on to supermassive galactic-centre black holes. For quasars, where the radiative power is by definition very high, objects with high radio luminosities form 10 ...

Predicting Nitrogen Isotope Fractionation in Nitrate Deposition on Early Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Noachian and early Hesperian Mars were likely warm and wet, with an atmosphere abundant in molecular nitrogen. The recent discovery of nitrate deposits in the Yellowknife Bay mudstones at Gale Crater confirm the existence of nitrogen oxides (NOX) on Noachian Mars. The processes responsible for the production of these nitrates would fractionate

Low-velocity Precessing Jets Can Explain Observed Morphologies in the Twin Radio Galaxy TRG J104454+354055

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Our understanding of large-scale radio jets in merger systems has been drastically improved in the era of the Very Large Array, Very Long Baseline Array/European VLBI Network, upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, and MeerKAT.
