Hunting Gamma-Ray-emitting FR0 Radio Galaxies in Wide-field Sky Surveys
The latest entry in the jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN) family is the Fanaroff–Riley type 0 (FR0) radio galaxies. They share several observational characteristics, e.g., nuclear emission and host galaxy morphology, with FR I sources; however, they ...

INVERSE DEPOLARIZATION: A POTENTIAL PROBE OF INTERNAL FARADAY ROTATION AND HELICAL MAGNETIC FIELDS IN EXTRAGALACTIC RADIO JETS [PDF]
Motivated by recent observations that show increasing fractional linear polarization with increasing wavelength in a small number of optically thin jet features, i.e., “inverse depolarization,” we present a physical model that can explain this effect and

Radio Jet and Lobe of 3C273 [PDF]
The ‘superluminal’ motion observed in the cores of radio sources such as 3C273 is now accepted as evidence of relativistic motion within a few parsecs of the centre, but it is less clear whether such speeds persist out to kiloparsec scales. The one-sidedness of such sources is often cited as evidence of relativistic Doppler beaming, but could equally ...

Radio Loud AGN Unification: Connecting Jets and Accretion
While only a fraction of Active Galactic Nuclei are observed to host a powerful relativistic jet, a cohesive picture is emerging that radio-loud AGN may represent an important phase in the evolution of galaxies and the growth of the central super-massive

Black Hole, Jet, and Disk: The Universal Engine [PDF]
In this paper I review the results of our ongoing project to investigate the coupling between accretion disk and radio jet in galactic nuclei and stellar mass black holes. We find a good correlation between the UV bump luminosity and the radio luminosities of AGN, which improves upon the usual [OIII]/radio correlations.

Dual and off-nucleus active supermassive black holes are expected to be common in the hierarchical structure formation paradigm, but their identification at parsec scales remains a challenge due to strict angular resolution requirements.

Influence of the jet opening angle on the derived kinematical parameters of blazar jets having uniform and stratified bulk motion [PDF]
We present analytical modelling of conical relativistic jets, in order to evaluate the role of the jet opening angle on certain key parameters that are inferred from VLBI radio observations of blazar nuclear jets. The key parameters evaluated are the orientation angle (i.e., the viewing angle) of the jet and the apparent speed and Doppler factor of the

Identifying a Point-Symmetrical Morphology in the Core-Collapse Supernova Remnant W44
I identify a point-symmetrical morphology in the core-collapse supernova remnant (CCSNR) W44 compatible with shaping by three or more pairs of jets in the jittering jets explosion mechanism (JJEM). Motivated by recent identifications of point-symmetrical

The Relativistic Jet Dichotomy and the End of the Blazar Sequence [PDF]
Our understanding of the unification of jetted AGN has evolved greatly as jet samples have increased in size. Here, based on the largest-ever sample of over 2000 well-sampled jet spectral energy distributions, we examine the synchrotron peak frequency -- peak luminosity plane, and find little evidence for the anti-correlation known as the blazar ...
