Suzaku Observations of Extreme MeV Blazar SWIFT J0746.3+2548
Shin Watanabe, Rie Sato, Tadayuki Takahashi +8
We report the Suzaku observations of the high luminosity blazar SWIFT J0746.3+2548 (J0746) conducted in November 2005. This object, with z = 2.979, is the highest redshift source o…
Testing the blazar spectral sequence: X-ray selected blazars
L. Maraschi, L. Foschini, G. Ghisellini +2
We present simultaneous optical and X-ray data from Swift for a sample of FSRQs selected from the EMSS survey. We present also a complete analysis of Swift and INTEGRAL data on 4 b…
A novel method for measuring the extragalactic background light: Fermi application to the lobes of Fornax A
Markos Georganopoulos, Rita M. Sambruna, Demosthenes Kazanas +5
We describe a new method for measuring the extragalactic background light (EBL) through the detection of -ray inverse Compton (IC) emission due to scattering of the EBL photons…
Radio spectra of intermediate-luminosity broad-line radio galaxies
E. Angelakis, M. Kadler, K. Lewis +3
Within the context of investigating possible differences between the mechanisms at play in Radio Loud AGN and those in Radio Quiet ones, we study the spectral characteristics of a…
A kpc-scale X-ray jet in the BL Lac source S5 2007+777
Rita M. Sambruna, Davide Donato, C. C. Cheung +2
X-ray jets in AGN are commonly observed in FRII and FRI radio-galaxies, but rarely in BL Lacs, most probably due to their orientation close to the line of sight and the ensuing for…
Infrared to X-ray observations of PKS 2155-304 in a low state
L. Foschini, A. Treves, F. Tavecchio +14
AIMS: Our goal is to understand the nature of blazars and the mechanisms for the generation of high-energy gamma-rays, through the investigation of the prototypical blazar PKS 2155…
The Spectral Sequence of Blazars - Status and Perspectives
L. Maraschi, G. Ghisellini, F. Tavecchio +2
The present status of the blazar spectral sequence is discussed, including new findings about blazars selected with different criteria than the original complete radio-samples. Des…
Long-Term X-Ray monitoring of NGC6251: Evidence for a jet-dominated radio galaxy
M. Gliozzi, I. E. Papadakis, R. M. Sambruna
We present the first X-ray monitoring observations of the X-ray bright FRI radio galaxy NGC6251 observed with RXTE for 1 year. The primary goal of this study is to shed light on th…
