A hard gamma-ray flare from 3C 279 in 2013 December
Vaidehi S. Paliya, Chris Diltz, Markus Bottcher +2
The blazar 3C 279 exhibited twin -ray flares of similar intensity in 2013 December and 2014 April. In this work, we present a detailed multi-wavelength analysis of the 2013 Dece…
Probing cluster environments of blazars through gamma-gamma absorption
Iurii Sushch, Markus Böttcher
Most blazars are known to be hosted in giant elliptic galaxies, but their cluster environments have not been thoroughly investigated. Cluster environments may contain radiation fie…
Synchrotron Polarization in Blazars
Haocheng Zhang, Xuhui Chen, Markus Boettcher
We present a detailed analysis of time- and energy-dependent synchrotron polarization signatures in a shock-in-jet model for gamma-ray blazars. Our calculations employ a full 3D ra…
The 72-Hour WEBT Microvariability Observation of Blazar S5 0716+714 in 2009
G. Bhatta, J. R. Webb, H. Hollingsworth +42
Context. The international whole earth blazar telescope (WEBT) consortium planned and carried out three days of intensive micro-variability observations of S5 0716+714 from Februar…
Multiwavelength observations and modeling of 1ES 1959+650 in a low flux state
VERITAS Collaboration, E. Aliu, S. Archambault +82
We report on the VERITAS observations of the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1959+650 in the period 2007-2011. This source is detected at TeV energies by VERITAS at 16.4 st…
X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Polarization in Leptonic and Hadronic Jet Models of Blazars
Haocheng Zhang, Markus Boettcher
We present a theoretical analysis of the expected X-ray and gamma-ray polarization signatures resulting from synchrotron self-Compton emission in leptonic models, compared to the p…
