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…
POLAMI Multi-Wavelength Polarization Study of AGN Jets: A Millimeter-Optical Comparison
C. Casadio, D. Blinov, I. Agudo +20
Millimeter-band polarimetry offers a powerful probe of AGN jets, accessing regions less affected by opacity and Faraday rotation than at longer radio wavelengths. As part of the PO…
Monitoring of 3C 286 with ALMA, IRAM, and SMA from 2006 to 2025: Stability, Synchrotron Ages, and Frequency-Dependent Polarization Attributed to Core-Shift
Minchul Kam, Hiroshi Nagai, Motoki Kino +23
We present the results of multi-frequency monitoring of the radio quasar 3C 286, conducted using three instruments: ALMA at 91.5, 103.5, 233.0, and 343.4 GHz, the IRAM 30-m Telesco…
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…
Gamma-ray flares from the jet of the blazar CTA 102 in 2016-2018
Sanghyun Kim, Sang-Sung Lee, Juan Carlos Algaba +16
CTA 102 is a -ray bright blazar that exhibited multiple flares in observations by the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope during the period of 201…
