From compact jets to extended lobes: radio morphologies of distant quasars at z > 4
K. Ã. Gabányi, M. Kunert-Bajraszewska, A. Krauze +9
High-redshift quasars play an essential role in studying the growth and evolution of supermassive black holes and active galactic nuclei (AGN). Radio-loud quasars additionally enab…
SKAVLBI view of AGN jets in the early Universe
C. Spingola, M. Mezcua, Y. Liu +33
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are among the brightest sources in the Universe, and those that are also jetted are uniquely valuable at the earliest epochs, because their relativisti…
Ultra-extreme high-frequency-peaked BL Lacs: A potential population of MeV synchrotron blazars
A. Sciaccaluga, F. Tavecchio, T. Sbarrato +1
We investigate the potential existence of a new population of BL Lacs, called ultra-extreme high-energy-peaked BL Lacs (UEHBLs), whose synchrotron emission component peaks in the M…
BlazEr1: The eROSITA Blazar Catalog. Blazars and Blazar Candidates in the First eROSITA Survey
S. Haemmerich, A. Gokus, F. McBride +28
Aims. eROSITA, on board the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) spacecraft, performed its first X-ray all-sky survey (eRASS1) between December 2019 and June 2020. It detected about 93000…
BLAZ4R and the eROSITA view of z>4 blazars
Tullia Sbarrato, Silvia Belladitta, Julien Wolf +8
We present BLAZ4R, the first living catalog of confirmed blazars, with a focus on the contribution of eROSITA, on board of the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) spacecraft. Blaza…
The IXPE and multifrequency polarimetric view of the extreme blazars 1ES 1101-232 and RGB J0710+591
Fabrizio Tavecchio, Dawoon E. Kim, Gabriel Emery +53
Multiwavelength polarimetry is a powerful tool to probe magnetic field and flow geometries in the relativistic jets of blazars. In this respect, particularly interesting are the so…
