Detection of the distant quasar OP 313 with the first Large-Sized Telescope of CTAO
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +412
In December 2023, the Large-Sized Telescope prototype (LST-1) detected for the first time VHE -ray emission from the FSRQ OP~313 becoming the furthest blazar ever observed at V…
Tracking down the broadband polarimetric properties of PG 1553+113
Riccardo Middei, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +78
We report on a nine-month monitoring campaign of the blazar PG 1553+113, relying on three observations carried out in 2025 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and su…
MAGIC observations of NGC 4278. The first low-luminosity radio galaxy with compact jets detected at TeV energies
S. Abe, J. Abhir, V. A. Acciari +189
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) Collaboration has recently reported the first detection at TeV energies of a low-luminosity radio galaxy, NGC 4278. The aim…
Polarisation angle variability in tidal disruption events
A. Floris, I. Liodakis, K. I. I. Koljonen +9
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star is disrupted by the tidal forces of a supermassive black hole, and these events produce bright multi-wavelength flares. Polarimetri…
The polarisation behaviour of OJ 287 viewed through radio, millimetre and optical observations between 2015 and 2017
J. Jormanainen, T. Hovatta, E. Lindfors +13
OJ 287 is a bright blazar with century-long observations, and one of the strongest candidates to host a supermassive black hole binary. Its polarisation behaviour between 2015 and…
