Size, shape, density, and atmospheric limit of (50000) Quaoar revealed from 14 years of stellar occultation

Giuliano Margoti, Felipe Braga-Ribas, José Luis Ortiz +173

We present results from 28 stellar occultations by the large Trans-Neptunian Object (50000) Quaoar registered between 2018 and 2025. By performing a joint analysis of this occultat…

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…

High optical to X-ray polarization ratio reveals Compton scattering in BL Lacertae's jet

Ivan Agudo, Ioannis Liodakis, Jorge Otero-Santos +147

Blazars, supermassive black hole systems (SMBHs) with highly relativistic jets aligned with the line of sight, are the most powerful long-lived emitters of electromagnetic emission…

CARMENES input catalog of M dwarfs: VII. New rotation periods for the survey stars and their correlations with stellar activity

Yutong Shan, Daniel Revilla, Sebastian L. Skrzypinski +40

Abridged: We measured photometric and spectroscopic for a large sample of nearby bright M dwarfs with spectral types from M0 to M9, as part of our continual effort to…

IXPE and multi-wavelength observations of blazar PG 1553+113 reveal an orphan optical polarization swing

Riccardo Middei, Matteo Perri, Simonetta Puccetti +119

The lower energy peak of the spectral energy distribution of blazars has commonly been ascribed to synchrotron radiation from relativistic particles in the jets. Despite the consen…

Discovery of X-ray polarization angle rotation in active galaxy Mrk 421

Laura Di Gesu, Herman L. Marshall, Steven R. Ehlert +140

The magnetic field conditions in astrophysical relativistic jets can be probed by multiwavelength polarimetry, which has been recently extended to X-rays. For example, one can trac…
