Evidence for in-situ acceleration of relativistic particles in the wings of X-shaped radio galaxies
Dusmanta Patra, Gopal-Krishna, Ravi Joshi
We report evidence for in-situ acceleration/re-acceleration of relativistic particles in 11 radio wings out of a total of 68 wings sufficiently well-resolved for spectral mapping,…

The alternating 'changing-look' blazar OQ 334 (B2 1420+32): New observational clues to the blazar state transitions
Krishan Chand, Gopal-Krishna
The high-luminosity blazar OQ 334 is a leading exponent of the intriguing rare phenomenon of alternating between a flat-spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) and a BL Lac (BLL) states. Its…

Weak-emission-line quasars: A new clue from their optical variability
Ritish Kumar, Gopal-Krishna, Hum Chand +1
Weak-emission-line QSOs (WLQs) are an enigmatic subclass of the QSO population, as their optical/UV spectra are marked by abnormally weak (or absent) emission lines. To obtain much…
