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…

Multi-wavelength study of OT 081: broadband modelling of a transitional blazar

MAGIC Collaboration, H. Abe, S. Abe +270

OT 081 is a well-known, luminous blazar that is remarkably variable in many energy bands. We present the first broadband study of the source which includes very-high-energy (VHE, $…

A wiggling filamentary jet at the origin of the blazar multi-wavelength behaviour

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +96

Blazars are beamed active galactic nuclei known for their strong multi-wavelength variability on timescales from years down to minutes. We aim to investigate the suitability of the…

Design of the tertiary optical system for the Large Latin American Millimeter Array radio telescope

Emiliano Rasztocky, Matias Rolf Hampel, Rodrigo Reeves +2

Many modern radio telescopes employ an observational strategy that involves maximizing the use of their available spaces (cabins), outfitting them with various receivers at differe…

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…

The variability patterns of the TeV blazar PG 1553+113 from a decade of MAGIC and multi-band observations

MAGIC Collaboration, H. Abe, S. Abe +264

PG 1553+113 is one of the few blazars with a convincing quasi-periodic emission in the gamma-ray band. The source is also a very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter. To b…
