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…

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…
