The 2009 multiwavelength campaign on Mrk 421: Variability and correlation studies

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +270

We performed a 4.5-month multi-instrument campaign (from radio to VHE gamma rays) on Mrk421 between January 2009 and June 2009, which included VLBA, F-GAMMA, GASP-WEBT, Swift, RXTE…

Mass without radiation: heavily obscured AGN, the X-ray Background and the Black Hole Mass Density

A. Comastri, R. Gilli, A. Marconi +2

A recent revision of black hole scaling relations (Kormendy & Ho 2013), indicates that the local mass density in black holes should be increased by up to a factor of five with resp…

Accretion, ejection and reprocessing in supermassive black holes

A. De Rosa, S. Bianchi, M. Giroletti +35

This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…

Multiwavelength observations of Mrk 501 in 2008

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +256

Mrk 501 is one of the brightest blazars at TeV energies and has been extensively studied since its first VHE detection in 1996. Our goal is to characterize in detail the source gam…

Search for X-ray occultations in Active Galactic Nuclei

G. Torricelli-Ciamponi, P. Pietrini, G. Risaliti +1

Recent time-resolved spectral studies of a few Active Galactic Nuclei in hard X-rays revealed occultations of the X-ray primary source probably by Broad Line Region (BLR) clouds. A…

Multifrequency Studies of the Peculiar Quasar 4C +21.35 During the 2010 Flaring Activity

M. Ackermann, M. Ajello, A. Allafort +288

The discovery of rapidly variable Very High Energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from 4C +21.35 (PKS 1222+216) by MAGIC on 2010 June 17, triggered by the high activity dete…
