Detection of disk-jet co-precession in a tidal disruption event
Yanan Wang, Zikun Lin, Linhui Wu +46
Theories and simulations predict that intense spacetime curvature near black holes bends the trajectories of light and matter, driving disk and jet precession under relativistic to…
A Very Rich Bimodal Galaxy Cluster Merger: RXC J0032.1+1808
David Wittman, Rodrigo Stancioli, Faik Bouhrik +3
The galaxy cluster RXC J0032.1+1808 has been well-studied with optical imaging and gravitational lensing mass maps, both of which reveal an elongated morphology in the north-south…
Probing jet base emission of M87* with the 2021 Event Horizon Telescope observations
Saurabh, Hendrik Müller, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg +282
We investigate the presence and spatial characteristics of the jet base emission in M87* at 230 GHz, enabled by the enhanced uv coverage in the 2021 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) o…
Magnetic field spreading from stellar and galactic dynamos into the exterior
Axel Brandenburg, Oindrila Ghosh, Franco Vazza +1
The exteriors of stellar and galactic dynamos are usually modeled as current-free potential fields. A more realistic description might instead be that of a force-free magnetic fiel…
Horizon-scale variability of M87* from 2017--2021 EHT observations
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We report three epochs of polarized images of M87* at 230\,GHz using data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) taken in 2017, 2018, and 2021. The baseline coverage of the 2021 ob…
Revisiting 3C 279 jet morphology with space VLBI at 26 microarcsecond resolution
Teresa Toscano, José L. Gómez, Guang-Yao Zhao +12
We present observations of the blazar 3C 279 at 22 GHz using the space VLBI mission RadioAstron on 2018 January 15. Images in both total intensity and fractional polarization are r…
Twenty years of blazar monitoring with the INAF radio telescopes
N. Marchili, S. Righini, M. Giroletti +14
The extreme variability of blazars, in both timescale and amplitude, is generally explained as the effect of a relativistic jet closely aligned to the observer's line-of-sight. Due…
Combined dark matter search towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS
LAT Collaboration, S. Abdollahi, L. Baldini +586
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are excellent targets for indirect dark matter (DM) searches using gamma-ray telescopes because they are thought to have high DM content and a low…
Prospects for dark matter observations in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +491
The dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) orbiting the Milky Way are widely regarded as systems supported by velocity dispersion against self-gravity, and as prime targets for the sear…
Optical spectroscopy of blazars for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory- IV
B. Rajput, P. Goldoni, W. Max-Moerbeck +17
Blazars, including BL Lacs and FSRQs, are the most luminous extragalactic γ-ray sources. They account for about 56% of the sources listed in the recent Fermi-LAT catalog (4FGL-DR4)…
ALMA discovery of Punctum -- a highly polarized mm source in nuclear starburst galaxy NGC 4945
E. Shablovinskaia, C. Ricci, C-S. Chang +9
We report the discovery of a highly polarized millimeter (mm) continuum source in the central region of NGC 4945, identified through ALMA Band 3 observations. This starburst Seyfer…
Fast and "lossless" propagation of relativistic electrons along magnetized non-thermal filaments in galaxy clusters and the Galactic Center region
Eugene Churazov, Lawrence Rudnick, Ildar Khabibullin +3
Relativistic leptons in galaxy clusters lose their energy via radiation (synchrotron and inverse Compton losses) and interactions with the ambient plasma. At z~0, pure radiative lo…
Probing multi-band variability and mode switching in the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar 3FGL J1544.6-1125
Giulia Illiano, Francesco Coti Zelati, Arianna Miraval Zanon +20
We present the most extensive high-time resolution multi-band campaign to date on the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar (tMSP) 3FGL J1544.6-1125 in the sub-luminous disk st…
ALMA polarimetry of radio-quiet AGNs
E. Shablovinskaia, C. Ricci, R. Paladino +10
The compact mm emission ubiquitously found in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (RQ AGN) exhibits properties consistent with synchrotron radiation from a small region (1 lig…
Prospects for Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Science with eXTP
Shu-Xu Yi, Wen Zhao, Ren-Xin Xu +75
In this new era of time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy, various new transients and new phenomena are constantly being discovered thanks to the rapid advances in observations,…
The Northern Cross Fast Radio Burst project: V. Search for transient radio emission from Galactic magnetars
A. Geminardi, P. Esposito, G. Bernardi +21
Context. The radio emission from magnetars is poorly understood and poorly characterized observationally, in particular for what concerns single pulses and sporadic events. The int…
Origin of the ring ellipticity in the black hole images of M87*
Rohan Dahale, Ilje Cho, Kotaro Moriyama +273
We investigate the origin of the elliptical ring structure observed in the images of the supermassive black hole M87*, aiming to disentangle contributions from gravitational, astro…
