How is the blazar GeV emission really produced?
Markos Georganopoulos, Eric Perlman, Demosthenes Kazanas +1
We show that the external Compton (EC) model for the production of the GeV emission in blazars makes specific predictions for the spectrum and variability of those blazars characte…
A Probe of the Matter Content of Quasar Jets
M. Georganopoulos, D. Kazanas, E. S. Perlman +1
We propose a method for estimating the matter content of quasar jets which exhibit Chandra - detected knots in their kpc scale jets. The method relies on measuring the component of…
Size-Luminosity scaling and Inverse Compton Seed Photons in Blazars
Markos Georganopoulos, John G. Kirk, Apostolos Mastichiadis
We present preliminary results of our work on blazar unification. We assume that all blazars have a broad line region (BLR) and that the size of the BLR scales with the power of th…
A new classification and a two-parameter unification of BL Lacertae objects
Markos Georganopoulos, Alan P. Marscher
A new continuous classification system for BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects is proposed. The peak frequency of the synchrotron component in the spectrum is used as a classifying…
