Multiband Optical Variability of the Blazar 3C 454.3 on Diverse Timescales
Karan Dogra, Alok C. Gupta, C. M. Raiteri +79
Due to its peculiar and highly variable nature, the blazar 3C 454.3 has been extensively monitored by the WEBT team. Here, we present for the first time these long-term optical flu…
Multi-wavelength picture of the misaligned BL Lac object 3C 371
J. Otero-Santos, C. M. Raiteri, A. Tramacere +52
The BL Lac object 3C 371 is one of the targets that are regularly monitored by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration to study blazar variability on both short and l…
IXPE Observation of the Low-Synchrotron Peaked Blazar S4 0954+65 During An Optical-X-ray Flare
Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu +134
The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets…
A wiggling filamentary jet at the origin of the blazar multi-wavelength behaviour
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +96
Blazars are beamed active galactic nuclei known for their strong multi-wavelength variability on timescales from years down to minutes. We aim to investigate the suitability of the…
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…
The Method of Searching for Rotations of the Polarization Position Angle of Quasars
S. S. Savchenko, D. A. Morozova, S. G. Jorstad +11
Observations of quasars show that the polarization position angle of the emission coming from them varies greatly over time, including periods called rotations during which the ang…
X-ray and multiwavelength polarization of Mrk 501 from 2022 to 2023
Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +143
We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk~501 over a 14-month period. The 2--8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Pola…
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…
Isochrone Fitting of Galactic Globular Clusters -- VI. High-latitude Clusters NGC5024 (M53), NGC5053, NGC5272 (M3), NGC5466, and NGC7099 (M30)
G. A. Gontcharov, S. S. Savchenko, A. A. Marchuk +7
We fit various colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of the high-latitude Galactic globular clusters NGC\,5024 (M53), NGC\,5053, NGC\,5272 (M3), NGC\,5466, and NGC\,7099 (M30) by isochr…
Optical variability of the blazar 3C 371: from minute to year timescales
J. Otero-Santos, C. M. Raiteri, J. A. Acosta-Pulido +41
The BL Lac object 3C 371 has been observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\textit{TESS}) for approximately a year, between July 2019 and July 2020, with an unmatched…
Broadband Multi-wavelength Properties of M87 during the 2018 EHT Campaign including a Very High Energy Flaring Episode
J. C. Algaba, M. Balokovic, S. Chandra +738
The nearby elliptical galaxy M87 contains one of the only two supermassive black holes whose emission surrounding the event horizon has been imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope (…
The variability patterns of the TeV blazar PG 1553+113 from a decade of MAGIC and multi-band observations
MAGIC Collaboration, H. Abe, S. Abe +264
PG 1553+113 is one of the few blazars with a convincing quasi-periodic emission in the gamma-ray band. The source is also a very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter. To b…
Galaxies decomposition with spiral arms -- II: A multiwavelength case study of M 51
Alexander A. Marchuk, Ilia V. Chugunov, George A. Gontcharov +7
Spiral structure can contribute significantly to a galaxy's luminosity. However, only rarely are proper photometric models of spiral arms used in decompositions. As we show in the…
