Relativistic Jets and Winds in Radio-Identified Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidates
Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger D. Blandford, Anna Synani +4
Supermassive black hole binary systems (SMBHBs) are thought to emit the recently discovered nHz gravitational wave background; however, not a single individual nHz source has been…
Compelling Evidence for a Harmonic in the Light Curve of the Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidate PKS J1309+1154
A. C. S. Readhead, M. F. Aller, A. G. Sullivan +23
We recently discovered a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidate, PKS J1309+1154, in the combined 46-yr University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) plus Owe…
A Search for Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidates in 46-Year Radio Light Curves of 83 Blazars
B. Molina, P. Mróz, P. V. De la Parra +23
The combined University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) and Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) blazar monitoring programs at 14.5/15 GHz provide uninterrupted li…
Characterizing Candidate Blazar Counterparts of the Ultra-High-Energy Event KM3-230213A
KM3NeT Collaboration, MessMapp Group, LAT Collaboration +13
High-energy astrophysical neutrinos serve as crucial messengers for understanding hadronic acceleration processes and identifying the origins of cosmic rays, with blazars among the…
The Radio Spectra of High Luminosity Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO-2s): Implications for Studies of Compact Jetted Active Galactic Nuclei
P. V. de la Parra, A. C. S Readhead, T. Herbig +18
This paper addresses, for the first time, a key aspect of the phenomenology of Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) -- the characteristics of their radio spectra. We present a radio-sp…
PKS~J08050111: A Second Owens Valley Radio Observatory Blazar Showing Highly Significant Sinusoidal Radio Variability -- The Tip of the Iceberg
P. V. de la Parra, S. Kiehlmann, P. Mroz +23
Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) observations of supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidate PKS~2131021 revealed, for the first time, six likely characteristics of th…
