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…

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…

Determining the origin of the X-ray emission in blazars through multiwavelength polarization

Ioannis Liodakis, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula +48

The origin of the high-energy emission in astrophysical jets from black holes is a highly debated issue. This is particularly true for jets from supermassive black holes that are a…

AT 2018dyk: tidal disruption event or active galactic nucleus? Follow-up observations of an extreme coronal line emitter with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Peter Clark, Joseph Callow, Or Graur +29

We present fresh insights into the nature of the tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate AT 2018dyk. AT 2018dyk has sparked a debate in the literature around its classification as e…

The putative center in NGC 1052

Anne-Kathrin Baczko, Matthias Kadler, Eduardo Ros +284

Many active galaxies harbor powerful relativistic jets, however, the detailed mechanisms of their formation and acceleration remain poorly understood. To investigate the area of je…

The polarisation behaviour of OJ 287 viewed through radio, millimetre and optical observations between 2015 and 2017

J. Jormanainen, T. Hovatta, E. Lindfors +13

OJ 287 is a bright blazar with century-long observations, and one of the strongest candidates to host a supermassive black hole binary. Its polarisation behaviour between 2015 and…
