The October 2022 flare in OJ 287 and the mass of its primary black hole
Mauri J. Valtonen, Staszek Zola, Manpreet Singh +21
The bright blazar OJ~287 has demonstrated a sequence of flares, which are well explained by a quasi-Keplerian orbit model. The flares are associated with the impact of the secondar…
A growth of early superhump: Multi color observation of the WZ Sge star TCP J23580961+5502508
Ryosuke Sazaki, Makoto Uemura, Tatsuya Nakaoka +1
We report optical and near-infrared photometry of a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, TCP J23580961+5502508, during its 2022 superoutburst, obtained using the 1.5-m Kanata telescope. Our obs…
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…
X-ray Doppler tomography of Fe K emission in a low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1822-371 - a localized reflector at the accretion stream-disk overflow
N. Sameshima, M. Tsujimoto, M. Uemura
We present the X-ray Doppler tomography of the Fe K (6.4 keV) fluorescence line of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1822-371 obtained with XRISM. Eleven orbits of this short period…
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…
Identifying the secondary jet in the RadioAstron image of OJ~287
Mauri J. Valtonen, Lankeswar Dey, Staszek Zola +26
The 136 year long optical light curve of OJ~287 is explained by a binary black hole model where the secondary is in a 12 year orbit around the primary. Impacts of the secondary on…
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…
Polarimetric Study of GRS 1915+105: Estimation of Interstellar Polarization Component
Jin Inokuchi, Koji S. Kawabata, Makoto Uemura +1
GRS 1915+105 is a well-known X-ray binary system composed of a black hole with a low-mass companion star and is recognized for emitting relativistic jets. Imazato et al. (2021) per…
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…
Insights from the first flaring activity of a high-synchrotron-peaked blazar with X-ray polarization and VHE gamma rays
MAGIC Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +250
We study a flaring activity of the HSP Mrk421 that was characterized from radio to very-high-energy (VHE; E TeV) gamma rays with MAGIC, Fermi-LAT, Swift, XMM-Newton and sever…
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…
