The Blazar PG 1553+113 as a Binary System of Supermassive Black Holes
Marco Tavani, Alfonso Cavaliere, Pere Munar-Adrover +1
The BL Lac PG 1553+113 has been continuously monitored in gamma rays with Fermi-LAT for over 9 years. Its updated light curve now includes 5 iterations of a main pattern comprising…
The Intragroup versus the Intracluster Medium
A. Cavaliere, R. Fusco-Femiano, A. Lapi
Galaxy groups differ from clusters primarily by way of their lower masses, M~10^14 M_sun vs. M~10^15 M_sun. We discuss how mass affects the thermal state of the intracluster or the…
An Emerging Class of Gamma-Ray Flares from Blazars: Beyond One-Zone Models
Marco Tavani, Valerio Vittorini, Alfonso Cavaliere
Blazars radiate from relativistic plasma jets with bulk Lorentz factors Γ ~ 10, closely aligned along our line of sight. In a number of blazars of the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar ty…
The blob crashes into the mirror: modelling the exceptional gamma-ray flaring activity of 3C 454.3 in November 2010
V. Vittorini, M. Tavani, A. Cavaliere +2
We focus on the exceptional flaring activity of 3C 454.3 in November 2010 and we discuss a theoretical framework addressing all data in their overall evolution. For two weeks the s…
The Astrophysics of the Intracluster Plasma
A. Cavaliere, A. Lapi
[Abridged] Since 1971 observations in X rays of thousands galaxy clusters have uncovered huge amounts of hot baryons filling up the deep gravitational potential wells provided by d…
The Planck Sunyaev-Zel'dovich vs. the X-ray View of the Coma Cluster
R. Fusco-Femiano, A. Lapi, A. Cavaliere
The Planck collaboration has recently published precise and resolved measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in Abell 1656 (the Coma cluster of galaxies), so directly gauging…
