POLAMI Multi-Wavelength Polarization Study of AGN Jets: A Millimeter-Optical Comparison
C. Casadio, D. Blinov, I. Agudo +20
Millimeter-band polarimetry offers a powerful probe of AGN jets, accessing regions less affected by opacity and Faraday rotation than at longer radio wavelengths. As part of the PO…
Intra-night optical polarization monitoring of blazars
Aristeidis Polychronakis, Ioannis Liodakis, Anastasia Glykopoulou +20
Blazars are known for their extreme variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. Variability at very short timescales can push the boundaries between competing models offering…
Variability of X-ray polarization of Cyg X-1
Vadim Kravtsov, Anastasiia Bocharova, Alexandra Veledina +31
We present the results of a three-year X-ray, optical, and radio polarimetric monitoring campaign of the prototypical black hole X-ray binary Cyg X-1, conducted from 2022 to 2024.…
Polarimetric Diversity in Tidal Disruption Events: Comparative Study of Low-Polarised sources with AT2020mot
A. Floris, I. Liodakis, K. I. I. Koljonen +13
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star is disrupted by the tidal forces of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), producing bright multi-wavelength flares. Among these events,…
Insights into the broad-band emission of the TeV blazar Mrk 501 during the first X-ray polarization measurements
S. Abe, J. Abhir, V. A. Acciari +260
We present the first multi-wavelength study of Mrk 501 including very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations simultaneous to X-ray polarization measurements from the Imaging X-ra…
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…
