Host galaxy magnitude of OJ 287 from its colours at minimum light
Mauri J. Valtonen, Lankeswar Dey, S. Zola +54
OJ 287 is a BL Lacertae type quasar in which the active galactic nucleus (AGN) outshines the host galaxy by an order of magnitude. The only exception to this may be at minimum ligh…
The host galaxy of OJ 287 revealed by optical and near-infrared imaging
K. Nilsson, J. Kotilainen, M. Valtonen +11
The BL Lacertae object OJ 287 (z = 0.306) has unique double-peaked optical outbursts every ~12 years, and it presents one of the best cases for a small-separation binary supermassi…
The Unique Blazar OJ 287 and its Massive Binary Black Hole Central Engine
Lankeswar Dey, Achamveedu Gopakumar, Mauri Valtonen +12
The bright blazar OJ 287 is the best-known candidate for hosting a nanohertz gravitational wave (GW) emitting supermassive binary black hole (SMBBH) in the present observable unive…
Linking the central engine to the jet properties in radio loud AGN
A. Olguín-Iglesias, J. León-Tavares, V. Chavushyan +5
We explore the connection between the black hole mass and its relativistic jet for a sample of radio-loud AGN (z < 1), in which the relativistic jet parameters are well estimated b…
Properties of optically selected BL Lac candidates from the SDSS
S. D. Kügler, K. Nilsson, J. Heidt +2
\textbf{Context.} Deep optical surveys open the avenue for find large numbers of BL Lac objects that are hard to identify because they lack the unique properties classifying them a…
Planck early results. XV. Spectral energy distributions and radio continuum spectra of northern extragalactic radio sources
Planck Collaboration, J. Aatrokoski, P. A. R. Ade +246
Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and radio continuum spectra are presented for a northern sample of 104 extragalactic radio sources, based on the Planck Early Release Compact S…
