The SKA-VLBI Perspective on Radio-Quiet AGN
Francesca Panessa, Tao An, James Petley +21
The accretion-ejection mechanism in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) remains a central open problem in astrophysics, tied to the role of AGN feedback in galaxy formation and evolution.…
SKA-VLBI Probes of High-energy Emission Processes in Relativistic Jets
M. Kadler, E. K. Bempong-Manful, P. G. Edwards +10
Relativistic jets in the nuclei of active galaxies are ubiquitous sources of high-energy emission. In particular, blazars represent the most luminous persistent X-ray and gamma-ray…
Extending the SKA Across Africa: The Case for a Continental African VLBI Network
Emmanuel K. Bempong-Manful, Jompoj Wongphechauxsorn, Jack Radcliffe +31
The African continent holds the key to unlocking the full potential of global Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). Strategic placement of radio telescopes across Africa provid…
AGN Jets from Formation to Dissipation
A. -K. Baczko, Eleni Vardoulaki, Etienne Bonnassieux +26
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are among the most energetic phenomena in the Universe, capable of launching powerful relativistic jets that extend from sub-parsec to megaparsec scale…
A milliarcsecond localization associates FRB 20190417A with a compact persistent radio source and an extreme magneto-ionic environment
Alexandra M. Moroianu, Shivani Bhandari, Maria R. Drout +38
We report the milliarcsecond localization of a high (1379 pc/cc) dispersion measure (DM) repeating fast radio burst, FRB 20190417A. Combining European VLBI Network detections of fi…
A Hyperactive FRB Pinpointed in an SMC-Like Satellite Host Galaxy
M. Bhardwaj, M. P. Snelders, J. W. T. Hessels +24
Precise localizations of fast radio bursts (FRBs) are essential for uncovering their host galaxies and immediate environments. We present the milliarcsecond-precision European VLBI…
