Dual AGN and Multiple SMBH Systems in the Era of SKAO
Q. D'Amato, L. Cui, R. Deane +23
We present a radio-oriented review of current strategies for the detection and characterization of dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) and supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs),…
Transforming X-ray Binary Astrophysics with SKA+VLBI
Tao An, Ailing Wang, James C. A. Miller-Jones +6
X-ray binaries (XRBs) are unique laboratories where accretion, jets, strong gravity and magnetic fields can be probed on humanly tractable timescales. The phased SKA-Mid operating…
Comprehensive Analysis of Optical brightness and Color Variability of Blazars in the ZTF Survey DR22
Qi Yuan, Xin Wang, Meng Zhang +6
This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of brightness and color variability in blazars, utilizing over six years of quasi-simultaneous g-band and r-band data from 1149 sources…
Synchrotron Self-Absorption Spectral Modeling Reveals a Magnetically Driven Shock-in-Jet Scenario in Blazar 1156+295
Wancheng Xu, Lang Cui, Tao An +6
Unveiling the launching and driving mechanisms of powerful jets in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is crucial for understanding the co-evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) a…
Multiwavelength quasi-periodic variability of the blazar Ton 599
Yu. V. Sotnikova, T. V. Mufakharov, A. E. Volvach +34
During the last 40-50 years, the TeV blazar Ton 599 has systematically experienced major outbursts detected in a wide wavelength range from radio to -rays. In this work, we pre…
Sub-Parsec Acceleration and Collimation of NGC 4261's Twin Jets
Xi Yan, Lang Cui, Kazuhiro Hada +6
We report the first robust evidence for a co-spatial sub-parsec acceleration and collimation zone (ACZ) in the twin jets of the nearby low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (LLAGN…
