Detection of Quasiperiodic Oscillations in the Blazar PKS 0735+178 with TESS

Shubham Kishore, Alok C. Gupta, Paul J. Wiita +2

We report here the detection of signatures of a quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) and a short flare in the optical light curve of the blazar PKS 0735+178, observed in two sectors, 71…

Multi-band optical photometric variability of the blazar OJ 287 from 2015 to 2025

Alok C. Gupta, Karan Dogra, Mark Kidger +101

We present the most densely sampled multi-band optical photometric observations of the peculiar BL Lacertae object OJ 287 from 2015 to 2025 with a focus on its optical activity on…

Simulating megaparsec-scale jets of radio galaxies: Magneto-hydrodynamics of jets reaching 5 Mpc

Gourab Giri, Dario Borgogno, Marco Tavani +9

Extragalactic jets have long prompted the question of how far relativistic outflows can extend, with some radio sources reaching 5 - 7 Mpc in length. These great extents motivate i…

X-Ray Spectral Variability of the TeV HBL Blazar PG 1553+113 with XMM-Newton

P. U. Devanand, Alok C. Gupta, Paul J. Wiita +2

We present an extensive X-ray spectral variability study of the TeV photon-emitting high-energy-peaked BL Lacertae object PG 1553+113, using the data from EPIC-PN camera of XMM-New…

Detection of quasi-periodic oscillations in the 37 GHz radio light curve of the blazar Ton 599 during 1990-2020

Alok C. Gupta, Alexandr E. Volvach, Shubham Kishore +6

Blazars are a subclass of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that display strong multi-wavelength variability on diverse timescales ranging from years down to minutes. In the…
