The Megaparsec-scale Gas-sloshing Spiral in the Remnant Cool Core Cluster Abell 1763

E. M. Douglass, E. L. Blanton, S. W. Randall +4

We present a multiwavelength study of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 1763 at redshift z = 0.231. Image analysis of a 19.6 ks Chandra archival observation reveals a cluster-wide s…

Multi-wavelength characterization of the blazar S5~0716+714 during an unprecedented outburst phase

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +187

The BL Lac object S5~0716+714, a highly variable blazar, underwent an impressive outburst in January 2015 (Phase A), followed by minor activity in February (Phase B). The MAGIC obs…

Exploring the connection between parsec-scale jet activity and broadband outbursts in 3C 279

B. Rani, S. G. Jorstad, A. P. Marscher +16

We use a combination of high-resolution very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) radio and multi-wavelength flux density and polarization observations to constrain the physics of t…

High-resolution polarization imaging of the Fermi blazar 3C 279

B. Rani, S. G. Jorstad, A. P. Marscher

Ever since the discovery by the Fermi mission that active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce copious amounts of high-energy emission, its origin has remained elusive. Using high-frequen…

Multiwavelength observations of the blazar BL Lacertae: a new fast TeV gamma-ray flare

A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow, R. Bird +74

Combined with very-long-baseline interferometry measurements, the observations of fast TeV gamma-ray flares probe the structure and emission mechanism of blazar jets. However, only…

The detection of the blazar S4 0954+65 at very-high-energy with the MAGIC telescopes during an exceptionally high optical state

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +169

The very-high-energy (VHE, GeV) -ray MAGIC observations of the blazar S4 0954+65, were triggered by an exceptionally high flux state of emission in the optical. Th…
