AGN jets under the microscope: A divide?

Marios Karouzos, Silke Britzen, Arno Witzel +2

A new paradigm for active galactic jet kinematics has emerged through detailed investigations of BL Lac objects using very long baseline radio interferometry. In this new scheme, m…

A seasonal cycle and an abrupt change in the variability characteristics of the intraday variable source S4 0954+65

N. Marchili, T. P. Krichbaum, X. Liu +5

The BLLac object S4 0954+65 is one of the main targets of the Urumqi monitoring program targeting IntraDay Variable (IDV) sources. Between August 2005 and December 2009, the source…

Deconstructing blazars: A different scheme for jet kinematics in flat-spectrum AGN

Marios Karouzos, Silke Britzen, Arno Witzel +2

Recent VLBI studies of the morphology and kinematics of individual BL Lac objects (S5 1803+784, PKS 0735+178, etc.) have revealed a new paradigm for the pc-scale jet kinematics of…

On the influence of the Sun on the rapid variability of compact extragalactic sources

N. Marchili, T. P. Krichbaum, X. Liu +4

Starting from December 2004, a program for the monitoring of intraday variable sources at a frequency of 5 GHz was performed at the Urumqi Observatory. The analysis of the variabil…

Multiwavelength VLBI observations of Sagittarius A*

R. -S. Lu, T. P. Krichbaum, A. Eckart +5

The compact radio source Sgr\,A*, associated with the super massive black hole at the center of the Galaxy, has been studied with VLBA observations at 3 frequencies (22, 43, 86\,GH…

Gamma-rays in flat-spectrum AGN: Revisiting the fast jet hypothesis with the CJF sample

Marios Karouzos, Silke Britzen, Arno Witzel +2

The recent release of the First Fermi-LAT Source Catalog solidified the predominant association of extragalactic gamma-ray emitters to active galaxies, in particular blazars. A tig…
