New Robotic Telescope: The big eye to observe the transient Universe
C. M. Gutiérrez, J. Barrera, J. Bento +20
NRT is an international project to build and operate the world's largest robotic telescope. The telescope will have a segmented primary mirror with an equivalent diameter of 4 m, a…
The 4 meter New Robotic Telescope project: an updated report
C. M. Gutiérrez, M. Torres, A. Oria +23
The New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an international collaboration to build and operate a 4 m diameter fully robotic telescope. The telescope will take advantage of the superb atmos…
Optical and near-infrared polarization of the black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 in quiescence
Vadim Kravtsov, Alexandra Veledina, Andrei V. Berdyugin +12
We present simultaneous high-precision optical polarimetric and near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV) photometric observations of low-mass black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 in the…
Unveiling blazar synchrotron emission: a multiwavelength polarimetric study of HSP and LSP populations
Sara Capecchiacci, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +96
Polarimetric properties of blazars allow us to put constraints on the acceleration mechanisms that fuel their powerful jets. By studying the multiwavelength polarimetric behaviour…
Determining the origin of the X-ray emission in blazars through multiwavelength polarization
Ioannis Liodakis, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula +48
The origin of the high-energy emission in astrophysical jets from black holes is a highly debated issue. This is particularly true for jets from supermassive black holes that are a…
High optical to X-ray polarization ratio reveals Compton scattering in BL Lacertae's jet
Ivan Agudo, Ioannis Liodakis, Jorge Otero-Santos +147
Blazars, supermassive black hole systems (SMBHs) with highly relativistic jets aligned with the line of sight, are the most powerful long-lived emitters of electromagnetic emission…
