Compact radio galaxies: the case of FR0s

R. D. Baldi, A. Capetti, G. Giovannini +20

Fanaroff-Riley type 0 (FR0) radio galaxies, a newly-identified and abundant population of low-power radio-loud active galactic nuclei, present a significant challenge to our unders…

The PLUTO Code on GPUs: Offloading Lagrangian Particle Methods

Alessio Suriano, Stefano Truzzi, Agnese Costa +5

The Lagrangian Particles (LP) module of the PLUTO code offers a powerful simulation tool to predict the non-thermal emission produced by shock accelerated particles in large-scale…

Instabilities at recollimation shocks in MHD jets

Stella Boula, Fabrizio Tavecchio, Gianluigi Bodo +4

AGN jet structure and stability remain uncertain; recollimation shocks are linked to morphology and variability, but the role of downstream instabilities is still unclear. We aim t…

How do recollimation-induced instabilities shape the propagation of hydrodynamic relativistic jets?

A. Costa, G. Bodo, F. Tavecchio +4

Recollimation is a phenomenon of particular importance in the dynamic evolution of jets and in the emission of high-energy radiation. Additionally, the full comprehension of this p…

The polarization of the synchrotron radiation from a recollimated jet: application to high-energy BL Lacs

Alberto Sciaccaluga, Agnese Costa, Fabrizio Tavecchio +3

Multifrequency polarimetry, recently extended to the X-ray band thanks to the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) satellite, is an essential tool for understanding blazar jet…

Stochastic acceleration in Extreme TeV BL Lacs through MCMC

Alberto Sciaccaluga, Fabrizio Tavecchio, Marco Landoni +1

Extreme TeV BL Lacs are a class of blazars with unique spectral and temporal features, not easily reproducible using standard one-zone models based on single shock acceleration. To…

FR0 jets and recollimation-induced instabilities

A. Costa, G. Bodo, F. Tavecchio +6

The recently discovered population of faint FR0 radiogalaxies has been interpreted as the extension to low power of the classical FRI sources. Their radio emission appears to be co…

Extreme blazars: the result of unstable recollimated jets?

F. Tavecchio, A. Costa, A. Sciaccaluga

Extreme BL Lacs (EHBL) form a subclass of blazars which challenge standard emission scenarios. In a recent study it has been argued that their peculiar properties can be explained…
