The Low-Frequency Spectra of Radio Pulsars

Ting Yu, Zhongli Zhang, Hongyu Gong +1

Low-frequency spectral studies of radio pulsars represent a key method for uncovering their emission mechanisms, magnetospheric structure, and signal interactions with the surround…

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…

Multiband Optical Variability of the Blazar 3C 454.3 on Diverse Timescales

Karan Dogra, Alok C. Gupta, C. M. Raiteri +79

Due to its peculiar and highly variable nature, the blazar 3C 454.3 has been extensively monitored by the WEBT team. Here, we present for the first time these long-term optical flu…

Evidence of jet activity from the secondary black hole in the OJ287 binary system

Mauri J. Valtonen, Staszek Zola, Alok C. Gupta +29

We report the study of a huge optical intraday flare on November 12, 2021, at 2 am UT, in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model it is associated with an impact of the se…

Quasi-simultaneous Optical Flux and Polarization Variability of the Binary Super Massive Black Hole Blazar OJ 287 from 2015 to 2023: Detection of an Anticorrelation in Flux and Polarization Variability

Alok C. Gupta, Pankaj Kushwaha, Mauri J. Valtonen +25

We study the optical flux and polarization variability of the binary black hole blazar OJ 287 using quasi-simultaneous observations from 2015 to 2023 carried out using telescopes i…
