Discovery of minute-scale polarization angle rotation in a supermassive black hole jet

Aristeidis Polychronakis, Ioannis Liodakis, Dmitry Blinov +7

Relativistic jets from supermassive black holes oriented towards our line of sight called blazars have puzzled the astronomical community for decades. Their fast jets and preferent…

Probing the -ray emission region and the connection to jet ejections in NRAO 150 with VLBI

L. C. Debbrecht, G. F. Paraschos, E. Ros +7

Relativistic jets launched by active galactic nuclei are fundamental for understanding the physics of accreting supermassive black holes and their immediate environments, yet the o…

Tracking down the broadband polarimetric properties of PG 1553+113

Riccardo Middei, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +78

We report on a nine-month monitoring campaign of the blazar PG 1553+113, relying on three observations carried out in 2025 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and su…

Spectral index evolution of the limb-brightened jet in 3C 84

L. C. Debbrecht, G. F. Paraschos, E. Ros +11

Relativistic jets launched by active galactic nuclei are fundamental for understanding the physics of accreting supermassive black holes and their immediate environment, yet the me…

Where within the 3C 84 jet are -rays produced?

Georgios F. Paraschos, Ioannis Liodakis, Svetlana Jorstad +49

The location of -ray creation and emission within extra-galactic jets is a matter of active debate. One particularly well-suited source to pinpoint the location is the nearby, b…

Rapid jet ejection from PKS 0215+015 coincident with a high-energy neutrino event

F. Eppel, M. Kadler, E. Ros +19

Aims. We present a new neutrino-blazar multiwavelength flare coincidence observed in the blazar PKS 0215+015, which showed a strong multiwavelength outburst in coincidence with the…

The IXPE and multifrequency polarimetric view of the extreme blazars 1ES 1101-232 and RGB J0710+591

Fabrizio Tavecchio, Dawoon E. Kim, Gabriel Emery +53

Multiwavelength polarimetry is a powerful tool to probe magnetic field and flow geometries in the relativistic jets of blazars. In this respect, particularly interesting are the so…

Unveiling blazar synchrotron emission: a multiwavelength polarimetric study of HSP and LSP populations

Sara Capecchiacci, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +96

Polarimetric properties of blazars allow us to put constraints on the acceleration mechanisms that fuel their powerful jets. By studying the multiwavelength polarimetric behaviour…

Polarisation as a probe of neutrino emission from blazars

G. F. Paraschos, E. Traianou, L. C. Debbrecht +2

The source of extragalactic neutrinos in the TeV-PeV range is a matter of very active research, with blazar jets having been postulated to be the origin of at least some of the det…

A helical magnetic field in quasar NRAO150 revealed by Faraday rotation

J. D. Livingston, A. S. Nikonov, S. A. Dzib +7

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are some of the most luminous and extreme environments in the Universe. The central engines of AGN, believed to be super-massive black-holes, are fed b…

Investigating launching of black hole jets with the combined power of the EVN and the EHT

G. F. Paraschos, L. C. Debbrecht, J. A. Kramer +13

AGN-launched jets are a crucial element in the study of supermassive black holes (SMBH) and their closest surroundings. The formation of such jets, whether they are launched by mag…

Evidence for a toroidal magnetic field in the core of 3C 84

G. F. Paraschos, L. C. Debbrecht, J. A. Kramer +13

The spatial scales of relativistic radio jets, probed by relativistic magneto-hydrodynamic jet launching simulations (RMHDs) and by most very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) ob…
