TELAMON: Effelsberg Monitoring of AGN Jets with Very-High-Energy Astroparticle Emissions -- Polarization properties

J. Heßdörfer, M. Kadler, P. Benke +33

We present recent results of the TELAMON program, which is using the Effelsberg 100-m telescope to monitor the radio spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) under scrutiny in astro…

A radical transition in the post-main-sequence system U Equulei

Tomek Kaminski, Mirek R. Schmidt, Anlaug Amanda Djupvik +6

U Equ is an unusual maser-hosting IR source discovered in the 1990s. It was tentatively classified as a post-AGB star with a unique optical spectrum displaying rare emission and ab…

IXPE and multi-wavelength observations of blazar PG 1553+113 reveal an orphan optical polarization swing

Riccardo Middei, Matteo Perri, Simonetta Puccetti +119

The lower energy peak of the spectral energy distribution of blazars has commonly been ascribed to synchrotron radiation from relativistic particles in the jets. Despite the consen…

X-ray Polarization of BL Lacertae in Outburst

Abel L. Peirson, Michela Negro, Ioannis Liodakis +128

We report the first confidence detection of X-ray polarization in BL Lacertae. During a recent X-ray/-ray outburst, a 287 ksec observation (2022 November 27-30) was tak…

A ring-like accretion structure in M87 connecting its black hole and jet

Ru-Sen Lu, Keiichi Asada, Thomas P. Krichbaum +118

The nearby radio galaxy M87 is a prime target for studying black hole accretion and jet formation^{1,2}. Event Horizon Telescope observations of M87 in 2017, at a wavelength of 1.3…

Cygnus X-3 revealed as a Galactic ultraluminous X-ray source by IXPE

Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Juri Poutanen +127

The accretion of matter by compact objects can be inhibited by radiation pressure if the luminosity exceeds the critical value, known as the Eddington limit. Discovery of ultralumi…
