Multiband optical variability on diverse timescales of the blazar Ton 599 from 2011 to 2023
O. Vince, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +72
(Shortened)Context: We analyze the optical variability of the FSRQ Ton 599 using BVRI photometry from the WEBT collaboration (2011-2023), complemented by photometric and spectrosco…
The IXPE and multifrequency polarimetric view of the extreme blazars 1ES 1101-232 and RGB J0710+591
Fabrizio Tavecchio, Dawoon E. Kim, Gabriel Emery +53
Multiwavelength polarimetry is a powerful tool to probe magnetic field and flow geometries in the relativistic jets of blazars. In this respect, particularly interesting are the so…
Intra-night optical polarization monitoring of blazars
Aristeidis Polychronakis, Ioannis Liodakis, Anastasia Glykopoulou +20
Blazars are known for their extreme variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. Variability at very short timescales can push the boundaries between competing models offering…
Detection of Compton scattering in the jet of 3C 84
Ioannis Liodakis, Sudip Chakraborty, Frédéric Marin +77
3C 84 is the brightest cluster galaxy in the Perseus Cluster. It is among the closest radio-loud active galaxies and among the very few that can be detected from low frequency radi…
Unveiling blazar synchrotron emission: a multiwavelength polarimetric study of HSP and LSP populations
Sara Capecchiacci, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +96
Polarimetric properties of blazars allow us to put constraints on the acceleration mechanisms that fuel their powerful jets. By studying the multiwavelength polarimetric behaviour…
IXPE Observations of the Blazar Mrk 501 in 2022: A Multiwavelength View
L. Lisalda, E. Gau, H. Krawczynski +157
The blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) was observed on three occasions over a 4-month period between 2022 March and 2022 July with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). In thi…
Determining the origin of the X-ray emission in blazars through multiwavelength polarization
Ioannis Liodakis, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula +48
The origin of the high-energy emission in astrophysical jets from black holes is a highly debated issue. This is particularly true for jets from supermassive black holes that are a…
High optical to X-ray polarization ratio reveals Compton scattering in BL Lacertae's jet
Ivan Agudo, Ioannis Liodakis, Jorge Otero-Santos +147
Blazars, supermassive black hole systems (SMBHs) with highly relativistic jets aligned with the line of sight, are the most powerful long-lived emitters of electromagnetic emission…
Search for Kink Events in Variable Fermi-LAT Blazars
P. Peñil, H. Zhang, J. Otero-Santos +10
This study explores the detection of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in blazars as a method to identify kink events within their jets, utilizing both -ray and polarized light…
Dust environment of long-period comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
Fernando Moreno, Charlotte Goetz, Francisco J. Aceituno +3
We present a characterization of the dust environment of long-period comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) by analyzing an extensive dataset, including dust tail images and photometr…
Multiband Optical Variability of the Blazar 3C 454.3 on Diverse Timescales
Karan Dogra, Alok C. Gupta, C. M. Raiteri +79
Due to its peculiar and highly variable nature, the blazar 3C 454.3 has been extensively monitored by the WEBT team. Here, we present for the first time these long-term optical flu…
