Flares from plasmoids and current sheets around Sgr A*
I. Dimitropoulos, A. Nathanail, M. Petropoulou +2
The supermassive black hole Sgr A* at the center of our galaxy produces repeating near-infrared flares that are observed by ground and space based instruments. This activity has be…
Application of neural networks to synchro-Compton blazar emission models
A. Tzavellas, G. Vasilopoulos, M. Petropoulou +2
Jets from supermassive black holes in the centers of active galaxies are the most powerful persistent sources of electromagnetic radiation in the Universe. To infer the physical co…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): the most powerful jets through the lens of a superb X-ray eye
Lea Marcotulli, Marco Ajello, Markus Böttcher +20
A fraction of the active supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies in our Universe are capable of launching extreme kiloparsec-long relativistic jets. These jets are know…
Bright blazar flares with CTA
M. Cerruti, J. Finke, G. Grolleron +9
The TeV extragalactic sky is dominated by blazars, radio-loud active galactic nuclei with a relativistic jet pointing towards the Earth. Blazars show variability that can be quite…
Quantitative comparisons of VHE gamma-ray blazar flares with relativistic reconnection models
J. Jormanainen, T. Hovatta, I. M. Christie +3
The origin of extremely fast variability is one of the long-standing questions in the gamma-ray astronomy of blazars. While many models explain the slower, lower energy variability…
The origin of power-law spectra in relativistic magnetic reconnection
Hao Zhang, Lorenzo Sironi, Dimitrios Giannios +1
Magnetic reconnection is often invoked as a source of high-energy particles, and in relativistic astrophysical systems it is regarded as a prime candidate for powering fast and bri…
