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…
Density profile of a self-gravitating polytropic turbulent fluid in the context of ensembles of molecular clouds
S. Donkov, I. Zh. Stefanov, T. V. Veltchev +1
We obtain an equation for the density profile in a self-gravitating polytropic spherically symmetric turbulent fluid with an equation of state . This is don…
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…
Multi-band behaviour of the TeV blazar PG 1553+113 in optical range on diverse timescales
A. Agarwal, B. Mihov, I. Andruchow +11
Context. The TeV BL Lac object PG 1553+113 is one of the primary candidates for a binary supermassive black hole system. Aims. We study the flux and spectral variability of PG 1553…
Composition and origin of L5 Trojan asteroids of Mars: Insights from spectroscopy
Apostolos A. Christou, Galin Borisov, Aldo Dell'Oro +2
We investigate the mineralogy of L5 Martian Trojan asteroids via reflectance spectroscopy, in particular (101429) 1998 $\mbox{VF}_{31}$, the only L5 Trojan that does not belong to…
Laboratory study of the torus instability threshold in solar-relevant, line-tied magnetic flux ropes
Andrew Alt, Clayton E. Myers, Hantao Ji +7
Coronal mass ejections (CME) occur when long-lived magnetic flux ropes (MFR) anchored to the solar surface destabilize and erupt away from the Sun. This destabilization is often de…
Polarimetric analysis of STEREO observations of sungrazing Kreutz comet C/2010 E6 (STEREO)
Rok Nežič, Stefano Bagnulo, Geraint H. Jones +2
Twin STEREO spacecraft pre-perihelion photometric and polarimetric observations of the sungrazing Kreutz comet C/2010 E6 (STEREO) in March 2010 at heliocentric distances $3-28~R_{\…
Eruptions from coronal hole bright points: observations and non-potential modelling
Maria S. Madjarska, Klaus Galsgaard, Duncan H. Mackay +2
A single case study of a CBP in an equatorial coronal hole with an exceptionally large size is investigated to extend our understanding of the formation of mini-filaments, their de…
New insights on the massive interacting binary UU Cassiopeiae
R. E. Mennickent, G. Djurašević, I. Vince +7
We present the results of the study of the close binary UU Cassiopeiae based on previously published multi wavelength photometric and spectroscopic data. Based on eclipse timings o…
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…

Sunay Ibryamov, Evgeni Semkov, Stoyanka Peneva +1
This paper report results from the first long-term BV(RI)c photometric CCD observations of three variable pre-main-sequence stars collected during the period from February 2007 to…
Optical spectroscopy and X-ray observations of the D-type symbiotic star EF Aql
K. A. Stoyanov, K. Iłkiewicz, G. J. M. Luna +6
We performed high-resolution optical spectroscopy and X-ray observations of the recently identified Mira-type symbiotic star EF Aql. Based on high-resolution optical spectroscopy o…
A global view on the colliding-wind binary WR 147
Svetozar A. Zhekov, Blagovest V. Petrov, Toma V. Tomov +1
We present results from a global view on the colliding-wind binary WR 147. We analysed new optical spectra of WR 147 obtained with Gran Telescopio CANARIAS and archive spectra from…
