A Two-Week Monitoring Campaign on Mrk 421
W. Peter Maksym, Ioannis Liodakis, M. Lynne Saade +153
X-ray polarization is a unique new probe of the particle acceleration in astrophysical jets made possible through the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Here we report on the firs…
Insights from the first flaring activity of a high-synchrotron-peaked blazar with X-ray polarization and VHE gamma rays
MAGIC Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +250
We study a flaring activity of the HSP Mrk421 that was characterized from radio to very-high-energy (VHE; E TeV) gamma rays with MAGIC, Fermi-LAT, Swift, XMM-Newton and sever…
Spectropolarimetry of SN 2023ixf reveals both circumstellar material and helium core to be aspherical
Manisha Shrestha, Sabrina DeSoto, David J. Sand +33
We present multi-epoch optical spectropolarimetric and imaging polarimetric observations of the nearby Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf discovered in M101 at a distance of 6.85 Mpc.…
Optical and near-infrared polarization of the black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 in quiescence
Vadim Kravtsov, Alexandra Veledina, Andrei V. Berdyugin +12
We present simultaneous high-precision optical polarimetric and near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV) photometric observations of low-mass black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 in 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…
IXPE observation of PKS 2155-304 reveals the most highly polarized blazar
Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +133
We report the X-ray polarization properties of the high-synchrotron-peaked (HSP) blazar PKS 2155304 based on observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). We…
Distinguishing radiation mechanisms and particle populations in blazar jets through long-term multi-band monitoring with RINGO3 and Fermi
Callum McCall, Helen Jermak, Iain A. Steele +6
We present the results of seven years of multicolour photometric monitoring of a sample of 31 -ray bright blazars using the RINGO3 polarimeter on the Liverpool Telescope from 20…
The extreme coronal line emitter AT 2022fpx: Varying optical polarization properties and late-time X-ray flare
Karri I. I. Koljonen, Ioannis Liodakis, Elina Lindfors +8
Supermassive black holes disrupt passing stars, producing outbursts called tidal disruption events (TDEs). TDEs have recently gained attention due to their unique dynamics and emis…
Detection of an intranight optical hard-lag with colour variability in blazar PKS 0735+178
Callum McCall, Helen E. Jermak, Iain A. Steele +3
Blazars are a highly variable subclass of active galactic nuclei that have been observed to vary significantly during a single night. This intranight variability remains a debated…
