A broadband outburst of the compact steep-spectrum quasar 3C 138 in 2024-2026

T. V. Mufakharov, Yu. V. Sotnikova, V. V. Vlasyuk +20

After several decades of relative quiescence, the compact steep-spectrum quasar 3C 138 entered an active phase in 2024-2026, exhibiting strong broadband flaring. We investigate its…

Constraining the magnetic field strength of a flaring radio core in the compact steep spectrum source 3C 138

Shan Li, Sang-Sung Lee, Whee Yeon Cheong +3

Compact steep spectrum (CSS) sources generally show weak Doppler boosting, yet some exceptions show multi-year-scale radio flux variability and high-energy activity. Since 2022, th…

SDSSJ110546.07+145202.4: The first long-duration radio changing-look NLS1 galaxy

S. Komossa, D. Grupe, A. Kraus +12

SDSSJ110546.07+145202.4 stands out as a unique radio changing-look Narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy that has brightened dramatically and shows an exceptionally long duration of…

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…

Time-domain Radio-loudness of Active Galactic Nuclei: Intermittency, Memory, and Jet Escape

Tao An

The classical radio-loudness parameter divides a radio flux density by an optical/UV accretion tracer, but the two terms do not pr…

Identifying compact symmetric objects with high-precision VLBI and Gaia astrometry

T. An, Y. Zhang, S. Frey +2

Compact symmetric objects (CSOs) trace the earliest phases of radio-galaxy growth; however, robust classification is difficult when radio cores are weak or invisible. We aim to dev…

High-redshift quasars at -- III. Parsec-scale jet properties from VLBI observations

Shaoguang Guo, Tao An, Yuanqi Liu +5

High redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) provide key insights into early supermassive black hole growth and cosmic evolution. This study investigates the parsec-scale properties…

High-resolution radio observations of TeV candidate sources

J. Kőmíves, K. É. Gabányi, S. Frey +3

Radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) with their jets pointed close to our line of sight constitute the majority of extragalactic -ray sources and significantly contribute to…

Revealing faint compact radio jets at redshifts above 5 with very long baseline interferometry

Máté Krezinger, Giovanni Baldini, Marcello Giroletti +6

Over the past two decades, our knowledge of the high-redshift (z > 5) radio quasars has expanded, thanks to dedicated high-resolution very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) obser…

Magnetically Driven Relativistic Jet in the High-Redshift Blazar OH~471

S. Guo, T. An, Y. Liu +15

Context : Understanding the mechanisms that launch and shape powerful relativistic jets from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) is cruci…
