A Panchromatic View of Relativistic Jets in Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies

open access: yesGalaxies, 2016
The discovery by the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi of variable γ-ray emission from radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies revealed the presence of a possible third class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with relativistic jets in addition ...

A Chandra Survey of Quasar Jets: First Results

open access: yes, 2004
We present results from Chandra X-ray imaging and spectroscopy of a flux-limited sample of flat spectrum radio-emitting quasars with jet-like extended structure. Twelve of twenty quasar jets are detected in 5 ks ACIS-S exposures.

Constraining the parameters of the putative supermassive binary black hole in PG 1302-102 from its radio structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate the pc-scale kinematics and kpc-scale radio morphology of the quasar PG 1302-102, which may harbour a sub-pc separation supermassive binary black hole system at its centre as inferred from optical variability.

A survey of extended radio jets with Chandra and HST

open access: yes, 2004
We present the results from an X-ray and optical survey of a sample of 17 radio jets in AGN performed with Chandra and HST. The sample was selected from the radio and is unbiased toward detection at shorter wavelengths, but preferentially it includes ...

Empirical Determinations of Key Physical Parameters Related to Classical Double Radio Sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Multi-frequency radio observations of the radio bridge of powerful classical double radio sources can be used to determine: the beam power of the jets emanating from the AGN; the total time the source will actively produce jets that power large-scale ...

An Old Fogey’s History of Radio Jets

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
This paper describes a personal view of the discovery of radio jets in celestial radio sources. The existence of narrow, collimated optical features in distant objects has been known about since the early 20th century; however, the advent of radio ...

Plasma physics in clusters of galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Clusters of galaxies are the largest self-gravitating structures in the universe. Each cluster is filled with a large-scale plasma atmosphere, in which primordial matter is mixed with matter that has been processed inside stars.

The energy distribution of electrons in radio jets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Black-hole and neutron-star X-ray binaries exhibit compact radio jets, when they are in the so called quiescent, hard, or hard intermediate states. The radio spectrum in these states is flat to slightly inverted.

Relativistic jets in narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. New discoveries and open questions

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Before the launch of the Fermi satellite only two classes of AGNs were known to produce relativistic jets and thus emit up to the γ-ray energy range: blazars and radio galaxies, both hosted in giant elliptical galaxies.

A Unified Theory of Jetted Tidal Disruption Events: From Promptly Escaping Relativistic to Delayed Transrelativistic Jets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Only a tiny fraction ∼1% of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) generate powerful relativistic jets evidenced by luminous hard X-ray and radio emissions.
