Context: PKS 0903-57 is a little-studied gamma-ray blazar which has recently attracted considerable interest due to the strong flaring episodes observed since 2020 in HE (100 MeV <…
Distance estimation of gamma-ray emitting BL Lac objects from imaging observations
K. Nilsson, V. Fallah Ramazani, E. Lindfors +13
