First NuSTAR Observations of Mrk 501 within a Radio to TeV Multi-Instrument Campaign

A. Furniss, K. Noda, S. Boggs +273

We report on simultaneous broadband observations of the TeV-emitting blazar Markarian 501 between 1 April and 10 August 2013, including the first detailed characterization of the s…

NuSTAR and multifrequency study of the two high-redshift blazars S5 0836+710 and PKS 2149-306

G. Tagliaferri, G. Ghisellini, M. Perri +15

The most powerful blazars are the flat spectrum radio quasars whose emission is dominated by a Compton component peaking between a few hundred keV and a few hundred MeV. We selecte…

GRB 130427A: a Nearby Ordinary Monster

A. Maselli, A. Melandri, L. Nava +63

Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are an extremely rare outcome of the collapse of massive stars, and are typically found in the distant Universe. Because of its intrinsic lumi…

A change in the optical polarization associated with a gamma-ray flare in the blazar 3C 279

LAT Collaboration, members of the 3C 279 multi-band campaign

It is widely accepted that strong and variable radiation detected over all accessible energy bands in a number of active galaxies arises from a relativistic, Doppler-boosted jet po…

EGRET Gamma-Ray Blazars: Luminosity Function and Contribution to the Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background

R. Mukherjee, J. Chiang

We describe the properties of the blazars detected by EGRET and summarize the results on the calculations of the evolution and luminosity function of these sources. Of the large nu…

Reverberation Mapping and the Disk Wind Model of the Broad Line Region

J. Chiang, N. Murray

Using the disk wind model of Murray et al. (1995), we calculate line profiles and frequency-resolved response functions for broad line emission from the surface of an accretion dis…
