Constraints on the VHE counterpart of two binary black hole mergers observed by the MAGIC and CTAO LST-1 telescopes
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +439
We present very-high-energy gamma-ray observations of two binary black hole merger candidates, GW240615_113620 and GW241125_010116, performed with the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imagi…
Discriminating blazar emission models with high-energy polarimetry: Multi-band predictions and detectability
Sara Capecchiacci, Ioannis Liodakis, Haocheng Zhang +2
Polarimetric properties of blazars provide key constraints on the acceleration mechanisms powering their relativistic jets, the high-energy emission processes involved, and the com…
Broadband multiwavelength properties of the archetypal blazar 3C 279 during the 2017 Event Horizon Telescope campaign
G. Principe, J. C. Algaba, E. Aviano +529
The archetypal blazar 3C 279 hosts a prominent relativistic jet and exhibits strong broadband variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. In April 2017, the Event Horizon Tele…
Extreme Blazars Observed with MAGIC: Second Catalog Release
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +353
Extremely high-peaked BL Lac objects - also named extreme blazars - are among the most energetic and persistent extragalactic accelerators in the Universe, defined by a synchrotron…
Detection of the distant quasar OP 313 with the first Large-Sized Telescope of CTAO
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +412
In December 2023, the Large-Sized Telescope prototype (LST-1) detected for the first time VHE -ray emission from the FSRQ OP~313 becoming the furthest blazar ever observed at V…
Detectability of Polarized Gamma-ray Emission from Blazar Flares with COSI
Garrett A. Latiolais, Jorge Otero-Santos, Michela Negro +18
We investigate the detectability of polarized gamma-ray emission from blazar flares with the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI). Using 17 years of Fermi Large Area Telescope ob…
