Probing quantum gravity using photons from a flare of the active galactic nucleus Markarian 501 observed by the MAGIC telescope

J. Albert et al., John Ellis, N. E. Mavromatos +3

We analyze the timing of photons observed by the MAGIC telescope during a flare of the active galactic nucleus Mkn 501 for a possible correlation with energy, as suggested by some…

Probing the physics of relativistic jets through X-ray observations

L. Maraschi, F. Tavecchio

The broad band sensitivity and flexibility of the BeppoSAX satellite have allowed unprecedented studies of the X-ray emission from blazars. Here we focus on recent results on the S…

Extreme synchrotron BL Lac objects

L. Costamante, G. Ghisellini, P. Giommi +8

We performed an observational program with the X-ray satellite BeppoSAX to study objects with extreme synchrotron peak frequencies (nu_peak > 1 keV). Of the seven sources observed,…

Spectral Energy Distributions of Blazars: Facts and Speculations

L. Maraschi, F. Tavecchio

We discuss the present knowledge about the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of blazars within a unified approach emphasizing overall similarities. The properties of the average…

Multi-Epoch Multiwavelength Spectra and Models for Blazar 3C~279

R. C. Hartman, M. Boettcher

Of the blazars detected by EGRET in GeV gamma rays, 3C 279 is not only the best-observed by EGRET, but also one of the best-monitored at lower frequencies. We have assembled eleven…

Constraints on the High Energy Continuum of Seyfert galaxies from RXTE Color-Color and Color-Flux Diagrams

P. O. Petrucci, I. Papadakis, F. Haardt +3

We report on some results from a three-year program of RXTE observations of 4 Seyfert galaxies: NGC 4051, NGC 5548, MCG-6-30-15 and NGC 5506. We focus here on color-color and color…
