VHE gamma-ray detection of FSRQ QSO B1420+326 and modeling of its enhanced broadband state in 2020

V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +230

Context. QSO B1420+326 is a blazar classified as a Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ). In the beginning of 2020 it underwent an enhanced flux state. An extensive multiwavelength cam…

Colliding stellar wind modelling of the X-ray emission from WR 140

Svetozar A. Zhekov

We modelled the Chandra and RXTE X-ray spectra of the massive binary WR 140 in the framework of the standard colliding stellar wind (CSW) picture. Models with partial electron heat…

The dual nature of blazar fast variability. Space and ground observations of S5 0716+714

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, D. Carosati +39

Blazar S5 0716+714 is well-known for its short-term variability, down to intra-day time-scales. We here present the 2-min cadence optical light curve obtained by the TESS space tel…

Testing two-component models on very-high-energy gamma-ray emitting BL Lac objects

MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +201

Context. It has become evident that one-zone synchrotron self-Compton models are not always adequate for very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitting blazars. While two-component mode…
