Characterization of a sample of -ray active galactic nuclei

Alberto Ulgiati, Paolo Padovani, Paolo Giommi +2

We analyse 77 \textit{Fermi} sources and their potential low-energy counterparts previously proposed in the literature. These sources were classified as active galactic nuclei, mai…

Identifying multiplets of IceCube alert events

Martina Karl, Paolo Padovani, Paolo Giommi

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory publishes "alert events", i.e. detections of high-energy neutrinos with a moderate-to-high probability of being of astrophysical origin. While some…

The Revised Third Cambridge Catalogue at 60: To Jet or Not to Jet ...

Peter Barthel, Paolo Padovani

Sixty years after the publication of the seminal 3CR catalogue, astronomers are getting to grips with the nature of the radio emissions in active galaxies: black-hole-accretion- an…

The Extremely Large Telescope

Paolo Padovani, Michele Cirasuolo

Extremely large telescopes (ELTs) are considered worldwide to be one of the highest priorities in ground-based astronomy. The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is developing an E…

A simplified view of blazars: the very high energy gamma-ray vision

P. Padovani, P. Giommi

We have recently proposed a simplified scenario for blazars in which these sources are classified as flat-spectrum radio quasars or BL Lacs according to the prescriptions of unifie…

A simplified view of blazars: the gamma-ray case

P. Giommi, P. Padovani, G. Polenta

We have recently proposed a new simplified scenario where blazars are classified as flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) or BL Lacs according to the prescriptions of unified schemes…

A simplified view of blazars: why BL Lacertae is actually a quasar in disguise

P. Padovani, P. Giommi, G. Polenta +3

We put forward a scenario where blazars are classified as flat-spectrum radio quasars, BL Lacs, low synchrotron, or high synchrotron peaked objects according to a varying combinati…

The Radio - X-ray relation as a star formation indicator: Results from the VLA--E-CDFS Survey

S. Vattakunnel, P. Tozzi, F. Matteucci +10

In order to trace the instantaneous star formation rate at high redshift, and hence help understanding the relation between the different emission mechanisms related to star format…

ROXA J081009.9+384757.0: a erg/s blazar with hard X-ray synchrotron peak or a new type of radio loud AGN?

P. Giommi, E. Massaro, P. Padovani +10

We report the discovery of ROXA J081009.9+384757.0 = SDSS J081009.9+384757.0, a z=3.95 blazar with a highly unusual Spectral Energy Distribution (SED). This object was first notice…

BL Lac X-ray Spectra: simpler than we thought

Eric S. Perlman, Timothy Daugherty, Anuradha Koratkar +10

We report results from {\it XMM-Newton} observations of thirteen X-ray bright BL Lacertae objects, selected from the {\it Einstein} Slew Survey sample. The spectra are generally we…

The Lyman-alpha forest of a Lyman Break Galaxy: VLT Spectra of MS1512-cB58 at z=2.724

S. Savaglio, N. Panagia, P. Padovani

The high redshift galaxy MS1512-cB58 (z=2.724, m_V=20.64) has been observed with the very efficient high resolution echelle spectrograph VLT/UVES. Although this is a very challengi…
