Dynamics and geometry of the inner sub-parsec-scale jet in 3C 279 observed with the Event Horizon Telescope
Hendrik Mueller, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Ai-Ling Zeng +275
The 2021 Event Horizon Telescope observations resolve the innermost jet region of the blazar 3C279 with unprecedented detail. The reconstructed images consistently reveal a compact…
Multiband ALMA polarimetry of the jet base and kiloparsec-scale jet of 3C 273: A multicomponent Faraday structure in the nucleus
T. Hovatta, S. P. O'Sullivan, I. Marti-Vidal +1
Polarization observations at millimeter wavelengths can be used to study magnetized plasma in jets launched by supermassive black holes. We used multiband Atacama Large Millimeter…
Parsec-scale polarimetry and kinematics of a spine-sheath jet in the neutrino-blazar TXS 0506+056
F. Eppel, P. Benke, C. Degli Agosti +10
In 2017, the blazar TXS 0506+056 showed a remarkable gamma-ray outburst simultaneously with a high-energy neutrino detection by IceCube from the same sky region. The significance o…
A hidden ultra-relativistic spine in the jet of a neutrino-associated blazar
Y. Y. Kovalev, F. Eppel, D. C. Homan +16
Supermassive black holes launch powerful jets of plasma that can accelerate particles to extreme energies, but the physical conditions required to produce high-energy neutrinos rem…
Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
