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…
High optical to X-ray polarization ratio reveals Compton scattering in BL Lacertae's jet
Ivan Agudo, Ioannis Liodakis, Jorge Otero-Santos +147
Blazars, supermassive black hole systems (SMBHs) with highly relativistic jets aligned with the line of sight, are the most powerful long-lived emitters of electromagnetic emission…
IXPE Observation of the Low-Synchrotron Peaked Blazar S4 0954+65 During An Optical-X-ray Flare
Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu +134
The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets…
Multi-wavelength observations of a jet launch in real time from the post-changing-look Active Galaxy 1ES 1927+654
Sibasish Laha, Eileen T. Meyer, Dev R. Sadaula +34
We present results from a high cadence multi-wavelength observational campaign of the enigmatic changing look AGN 1ES 1927+654 from May 2022- April 2024, coincident with an unprece…
Late-time radio brightening and emergence of a radio jet in the changing-look AGN 1ES 1927+654
Eileen T. Meyer, Sibasish Laha, Onic I. Shuvo +32
We present multi-frequency (5-345 GHz) and multi-resolution radio observations of 1ES 1927+654, widely considered one of the most unusual and extreme changing-look active galactic…
