First detection of VHE gamma-ray signal from the FSRQ TON 0599

MAGIC Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +245

TON\,0599 (z=0.7247) belongs to the few flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) detected in the very high energy (VHE, \,GeV) gamma-ray band. Its redshift makes it currently o…

Intervening nuclear obscuration changing the X-ray look of the QSO CFHQS J164121+375520

Fabio Vito, William Nielsen Brandt, Andrea Comastri +16

X-ray observations of the optically selected QSO CFHQS J164121+375520 (hereafter J1641) revealed that its flux dropped by a factor from 2018, when it was a bri…

Optical spectral characterization of the gamma-ray blazars S4 0954+65, TXS 1515-273 and RX J0812.0+0237

J. Becerra González, J. A. Acosta-Pulido, W. Boschin +4

The study of gamma-ray blazars is usually hindered due to the lack of information on their redshifts and on their low energy photon fields. This information is key to understand th…

Spectro-polarimetric observations of the CIZA J2242.8+5301 northern radio relic: no evidence of high-frequency steepening

Francesca Loi, Matteo Murgia, Valentina Vacca +16

Observations of radio relics at very high frequency (>10 GHz) can help to understand how particles age and are (re-)accelerated in galaxy cluster outskirts and how magnetic fields…

Investigating the multiwavelength behaviour of the flat spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017

F. D'Ammando, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +94

We present a multiwavelength study of the flat-spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017. We use radio-to-optical data obtained by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope, 15 GHz dat…

The beamed jet and quasar core of the distant blazar 4C 71.07

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +5

The object 4C 71.07 is a high-redshift blazar whose spectral energy distribution shows a prominent big blue bump and a strong Compton dominance. We present the results of a two-yea…

Blazar spectral variability as explained by a twisting inhomogeneous jet

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata

Blazar emission is dominated by non-thermal radiation from a relativistic jet pointing toward us, therefore undergoing Doppler beaming. This is responsible for flux enhancement and…

A significant hardening and rising shape detected in the MeV/GeV nuFnu spectrum from the recently-discovered very-high-energy blazar S4 0954+65 during the bright optical flare in 2015 February

Y. T. Tanaka, J. Becerra Gonzalez, R. Itoh +18

We report on Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and multi-wavelength results on the recently-discovered very-high-energy (VHE, 100 GeV) blazar S4 0954+65 () during an e…
