A wiggling filamentary jet at the origin of the blazar multi-wavelength behaviour
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +96
Blazars are beamed active galactic nuclei known for their strong multi-wavelength variability on timescales from years down to minutes. We aim to investigate the suitability of the…
Testing particle acceleration in blazar jets with continuous high-cadence optical polarization observations
Ioannis Liodakis, Sebastian Kiehlmann, Alan P. Marscher +44
Variability can be the pathway to understanding the physical processes in astrophysical jets, however, the high-cadence observations required to test particle acceleration models a…
Evidence of jet activity from the secondary black hole in the OJ287 binary system
Mauri J. Valtonen, Staszek Zola, Alok C. Gupta +29
We report the study of a huge optical intraday flare on November 12, 2021, at 2 am UT, in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model it is associated with an impact of the se…
