Constraining Orbital Eccentricity of a Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidate PKS 2131-0211

Avinash Kumar Paladi, A. Gopakumar, Sushmita Agarwal +1

A detailed analysis of the decades-long radio light curve of blazar PKS 2131-021 showed epochs of sinusoidal variations in the radio flux density time-series as detailed in O'Neill…

Hunting Very High-Energy (100 GeV) Emitting High-Synchrotron Peaked Blazars

Sushmita Agarwal, Vaidehi S. Paliya

Very-high energy (VHE; 100 GeV) -ray emission originates via some of the most extreme particle acceleration processes in the universe. Considering beamed active galactic nucl…

From X-rays to High-Energy Gamma-rays: A Comprehensive Multi-Wavelength Study of Early Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows

P. Tiwari, B. Banerjee, D. Miceli +8

Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) generate powerful relativistic jets that inject a large amount of energy into their surrounding environment, producing blast waves that accelerate particles…

Broadband Modelling of GRB 230812B Afterglow: Implications for VHE -ray Detection with IACTs

Shraddha Mohnani, Biswajit Banerjee, Davide Miceli +13

A significant fraction of the energy from the -ray burst (GRB) jets, after powering the keV-MeV emission, forms an ultra-relativistic shock propagating into the circumburst medi…

Constraining -ray dissipation site in gravitationally lensed quasar -- PKS 1830211

Sushmita Agarwal, Amit Shukla, Pranjali Sharma

Variable -ray flares upto minute timescales reflect extreme particle acceleration sites. However, for high-redshift blazars, the detection of such rapid variations remains limit…

A numerical study on the role of instabilities on multi-wavelength emission signatures of blazar jets

Sriyasriti Acharya, Bhargav Vaidya, Indu Kalpa Dihingia +2

Blazars, a class of active galaxies whose jets are relativistic and collimated flows of plasma directed along the line of sight and are prone to a slew of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD…

Long-term optical and ray variability of the blazar PKS~1222+216

Savithri H. Ezhikode, Amit Shukla, Gulab C. Dewangan +4

The ray emission from flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) is thought to be dominated by the inverse Compton scattering of the external sources of photon fields, e.g., accretion…
