Astro2020 Science White Paper: Using X-Ray Polarimetry to Probe the Physics of Black Holes and Neutron Stars
Henric Krawczynski, Giorgio Matt, Adam R. Ingram +54
This white paper highlights compact object and fundamental physics science opportunities afforded by high-throughput broadband (0.1-60 keV) X-ray polarization observations. X-ray p…
The QUEST-La Silla AGN Variability Survey: selection of AGN candidates through optical variability
P. Sánchez-Sáez, P. Lira, R. Cartier +6
We used data from the QUEST-La Silla Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) variability survey to construct light curves for 208,583 sources over deg, with a a limiting magnitu…
Neutrinos, Cosmic Rays and the MeV Band
R. Ojha, H. Zhang, M. Kadler +23
The possible association of the blazar TXS 0506+056 with a high-energy neutrino detected by IceCube holds the tantalizing potential to answer three astrophysical questions: 1. Wher…
The QUEST-La Silla AGN variability survey: connection between AGN variability and black hole physical properties
P. Sánchez-Sáez, P. Lira, J. Mejía-Restrepo +5
We present our statistical analysis of the connection between active galactic nuclei (AGN) variability and physical properties of the central supermassive black hole (SMBH). We con…
The interacting late-type host galaxy of the radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 IRAS 20181-2244
M. Berton, E. Congiu, S. Ciroi +15
Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are a class of active galactic nuclei (AGN) which are known to be one of the few sources of rays, which originate in a relativistic beame…
Probing dissipation mechanisms in BL Lac jets through X-ray polarimetry
F. Tavecchio, M. Landoni, L. Sironi +1
The dissipation of energy flux in blazar jets plays a key role in the acceleration of relativistic particles. Two possibilities are commonly considered for the dissipation processe…
