Powerful Radio-Loud Quasars are Triggered by Galaxy Mergers in the Cosmic Bright Ages
Peter Breiding, Marco Chiaberge, Erini Lambrides +14
While supermassive black holes are ubiquitous features of galactic nuclei, only a small minority are observed during episodes of luminous accretion. The physical mechanism(s) drivi…
New Tests of Millilensing in the Blazar PKS 1413+135
A. L. Peirson, I. Liodakis, A. C. S. Readhead +26
Symmetric Achromatic Variability (SAV) is a rare form of radio variability in blazars that has been attributed to gravitational millilensing by a ~ mass cond…
The Relativistic Jet Orientation and Host Galaxy of the Peculiar Blazar PKS 1413+135
A. C. S. Readhead, V. Ravi, I. Liodakis +26
PKS 1413+135 is one of the most peculiar blazars known. Its strange properties led to the hypothesis almost four decades ago that it is gravitationally lensed by a mass concentrati…
Kiloparsec-scale Jets: Physics, Emission Mechanisms, and Challenges
Eric S. Perlman, Eileen Meyer, Jean Eilek +10
Jets are a ubiquitous part of the accretion process, created in AGN, by a coupling between the magnetic field near the central black hole and inflowing material. We point out what…
Relativistic Jets in the Accretion & Collimation Zone: New Challenges Enabled by New Instruments
Eric S. Perlman, Mark Birkinshaw, Matthias Kadler +9
Jets are a ubiquitous part of the accretion process, seen in a wide variety of objects ranging from active galaxies (AGN) to X-ray binary stars and even newly formed stars. AGN jet…
The origin of the mid-infrared nuclear polarization of active galactic nuclei
E. Lopez-Rodriguez, A. Alonso-Herrero, T. Diaz-Santos +10
We combine new (NGC 1275, NGC 4151, and NGC 5506) and previously published (Cygnus A, Mrk 231, and NGC 1068) sub-arcsecond resolution mid-infrared (MIR; 8-13 m) imaging- and spe…
