Compelling Evidence for a Harmonic in the Light Curve of the Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidate PKS J1309+1154

A. C. S. Readhead, M. F. Aller, A. G. Sullivan +23

We recently discovered a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidate, PKS J1309+1154, in the combined 46-yr University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) plus Owe…

Multi-messenger flare in the quasar PKS 0446+11

Y. Y. Kovalev, M. F. Aller, A. K. Erkenov +15

The physical mechanisms driving neutrino and electromagnetic flares in blazars remain poorly understood. We investigate a prominent multi-messenger flare in the quasar PKS 1424+240…

Characterization of Markarian 421 during its most violent year: Multiwavelength variability and correlations

K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +212

Mrk 421 was in its most active state around early 2010, which led to the highest TeV gamma-ray flux ever recorded from any active galactic nuclei. We aim to characterize the multiw…

The Radio Spectra of High Luminosity Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO-2s): Implications for Studies of Compact Jetted Active Galactic Nuclei

P. V. de la Parra, A. C. S Readhead, T. Herbig +18

This paper addresses, for the first time, a key aspect of the phenomenology of Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) -- the characteristics of their radio spectra. We present a radio-sp…

Why Haven't Many of the Brightest Radio Loud Blazars Been Detected by Fermi ?

M. L. Lister, M. F. Aller. H. D. Aller. T. Hovatta, W. Max-Morbeck +3

We use the complete MOJAVE 1.5 Jy sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to examine the gamma-ray detection statistics of the brightest radio-loud blazars in the northern sky. We f…
