The October 2022 flare in OJ 287 and the mass of its primary black hole
Mauri J. Valtonen, Staszek Zola, Manpreet Singh +21
The bright blazar OJ~287 has demonstrated a sequence of flares, which are well explained by a quasi-Keplerian orbit model. The flares are associated with the impact of the secondar…
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…
The IXPE and multifrequency polarimetric view of the extreme blazars 1ES 1101-232 and RGB J0710+591
Fabrizio Tavecchio, Dawoon E. Kim, Gabriel Emery +53
Multiwavelength polarimetry is a powerful tool to probe magnetic field and flow geometries in the relativistic jets of blazars. In this respect, particularly interesting are the so…
Detection of Compton scattering in the jet of 3C 84
Ioannis Liodakis, Sudip Chakraborty, Frédéric Marin +77
3C 84 is the brightest cluster galaxy in the Perseus Cluster. It is among the closest radio-loud active galaxies and among the very few that can be detected from low frequency radi…
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…
CAZ catalog and optical light curves of 7918 blazar-selected active galactic nuclei
Pouya M. Kouch, Elina Lindfors, Talvikki Hovatta +10
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are some of the brightest and most variable objects in the Universe. Those with relativistic jets observed at small viewing angles are blazars. Due to…
