Locating the Production Sites of High-Energy Neutrinos in Blazar Jets

Rui Xue, Yoshiyuki Inoue, Ze-Rui Wang +2

The production sites of high-energy neutrinos in blazar jets remain poorly constrained. In this work, we investigate the physical conditions required for efficient neutrino product…

On the maximum neutrino flux of blazars in the one-zone leptohadronic model

Wei-Jian Li, Rui Xue, Ze-Rui Wang +1

The origin of extragalactic high-energy neutrinos remains a major mystery in astrophysics, with blazars as leading candidate sources. The widely adopted one-zone leptohadronic jet…

Quasi-Simultaneous Broadband Spectral Energy Distributions of a Sample of Fermi Blazars -- I. Correlation Results

Yi Zhong, Zhujian Wan, Rui Xue +3

Blazars' non-thermal emission shows rapid variability across all wavelengths, so spectral energy distributions (SEDs) built from quasi-simultaneous data are crucial for revealing t…

Stochastic Optical Variability and an rms-flux Relation in the Intermediate Polar EP240309a

S. -Y. Wu, Y. -D. Hu, I. Perez-Garcia +18

Magnetic cataclysmic variables provide a natural laboratory for studying how accretion interacts with compact-object magnetospheres and generates stochastic variability. We present…

Discovery of a Luminosity-dependent Continuum Lag in NGC 4151 from Photometric and Spectroscopic Continuum Reverberation Mapping

Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li, Mouyuan Sun +17

Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) powers active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and drives feedback that shapes galaxy evolution. Constraining AGN accretion disk structure is…

On the origin of a possible hard VHE spectrum from M87 discovered by LHAASO

Rui Xue, Jia-Chun He, Dingrong Xiong +1

Recent LHAASO observations hint at potential spectral hardening around 20 TeV in M87's very high energy (VHE) emission, suggesting a possible new radiation component. In this work,…

Spectral Hardening Reveals Afterglow Emergence in Long-Duration Fast X-ray Transients: A Case Study of GRB 250404A/EP250404a

Yi-Han Iris Yin, Yuan Fang, Bin-Bin Zhang +56

The prompt emission and afterglow phases of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been extensively studied, yet the transition between these two phases remains inadequately characterized du…

A characteristic optical variability time scale in jetted active galactic nuclei: a large gamma-ray emission sample

Dingrong Xiong, Mouyuan Sun, Jun-Xian Wang +14

The variability mechanisms from jetted AGNs are still under debate. Here the damped random walk (DRW) model, implemented through Gaussian Processe (GPs), is used to fit the l…

AT2021aeuk: A Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event Candidate in a Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy

Jingbo Sun, Hengxiao Guo, Minfeng Gu +13

A black hole (BH) can tear apart a star that ventures within its tidal radius, producing a luminous flare as the stellar debris falls back, known as a tidal disruption event (TDE).…

Detection of an Orphan X-ray Flare from a Blazar Candidate EP240709a with Einstein Probe

Mingjun Liu, Yijia Zhang, Yun Wang +49

Blazars are often observed to flare across multiple wavelengths. Orphan flares from blazars have been only detected a few times, providing an opportunity to understand the structur…

A Shock Flash Breaking Out of a Dusty Red Supergiant

Gaici Li, Maokai Hu, Wenxiong Li +41

Shock breakout emission is light that arises when a shockwave, generated by core-collapse explosion of a massive star, passes through its outer envelope. Hitherto, the earliest det…
