The role of outflows in black-hole X-ray binaries

N. Kylafis, P. Reig

The hot inner flow in black-hole X-ray binaries is not just a static corona rotating around the black hole, but it must be partially outflowing. We have developed a model, in which…

RoboPol: Connection between optical polarization plane rotations and gamma-ray flares in blazars

D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +21

We use results of our 3 year polarimetric monitoring program to investigate the previously suggested connection between rotations of the polarization plane in the optical emission…

RoboPol: The optical polarization of gamma-ray--loud and gamma-ray--quiet blazars

E. Angelakis, T. Hovatta, D. Blinov +25

We present average R-band optopolarimetric data, as well as variability parameters, from the first and second RoboPol observing season. We investigate whether gamma- ray--loud and…

RoboPol: Do optical polarization rotations occur in all blazars?

D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. Papadakis +23

We present a new set of optical polarization plane rotations in blazars, observed during the third year of operation of RoboPol. The entire set of rotation events discovered during…

RoboPol: optical polarization-plane rotations and flaring activity in blazars

D. Blinov, V. Pavlidou, I. E. Papadakis +26

We present measurements of rotations of the optical polarization of blazars during the second year of operation of RoboPol, a monitoring programme of an unbiased sample of gamma-ra…

A jet model for Galactic black-hole X-ray sources: the cutoff energy-phase-lag correlation

P. Reig, N. Kylafis

Galactic black-hole X-ray binaries emit a compact, optically thick, mildy relativistic radio jet when they are in the hard and hard-intermediate states. In a series of papers, we h…
