Unravelling the complex behavior of Mrk 421 with simultaneous X-ray and VHE observations during an extreme flaring activity in April 2013

MAGIC collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +237

We report on a multi-band variability and correlation study of the TeV blazar Mrk 421 during an exceptional flaring activity observed from 2013 April 11 to 2013 April 19. The study…

Exploring the connection between parsec-scale jet activity and broadband outbursts in 3C 279

B. Rani, S. G. Jorstad, A. P. Marscher +16

We use a combination of high-resolution very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) radio and multi-wavelength flux density and polarization observations to constrain the physics of t…

Multiwavelength observations of the blazar BL Lacertae: a new fast TeV gamma-ray flare

A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow, R. Bird +74

Combined with very-long-baseline interferometry measurements, the observations of fast TeV gamma-ray flares probe the structure and emission mechanism of blazar jets. However, only…

Blazar spectral variability as explained by a twisting inhomogeneous jet

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata

Blazar emission is dominated by non-thermal radiation from a relativistic jet pointing toward us, therefore undergoing Doppler beaming. This is responsible for flux enhancement and…

Multiwavelength observations of the blazar BL Lacertae: a new fast TeV -ray flare

Q. Feng, S. G. Jorstad, A. P. Marscher +11

Observations of fast TeV -ray flares from blazars reveal the extreme compactness of emitting regions in blazar jets. Combined with very-long-baseline radio interferometry measur…

Synchrotron emission from the blazar PG 1553+113. An analysis of its flux and polarization variability

C. M. Raiteri, F. Nicastro, A. Stamerra +4

In 2015 July 29 - September 1 the satellite XMM-Newton pointed at the BL Lac object PG 1553+133 six times, collecting data for 218 hours. During one of these epochs, simultaneous o…
