Multiband optical variability on diverse timescales of the blazar Ton 599 from 2011 to 2023

O. Vince, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +72

(Shortened)Context: We analyze the optical variability of the FSRQ Ton 599 using BVRI photometry from the WEBT collaboration (2011-2023), complemented by photometric and spectrosco…

Detection of Compton scattering in the jet of 3C 84

Ioannis Liodakis, Sudip Chakraborty, Frédéric Marin +77

3C 84 is the brightest cluster galaxy in the Perseus Cluster. It is among the closest radio-loud active galaxies and among the very few that can be detected from low frequency radi…

Unveiling blazar synchrotron emission: a multiwavelength polarimetric study of HSP and LSP populations

Sara Capecchiacci, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +96

Polarimetric properties of blazars allow us to put constraints on the acceleration mechanisms that fuel their powerful jets. By studying the multiwavelength polarimetric behaviour…

IXPE Observations of the Blazar Mrk 501 in 2022: A Multiwavelength View

L. Lisalda, E. Gau, H. Krawczynski +157

The blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) was observed on three occasions over a 4-month period between 2022 March and 2022 July with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). In thi…

Determining the origin of the X-ray emission in blazars through multiwavelength polarization

Ioannis Liodakis, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula +48

The origin of the high-energy emission in astrophysical jets from black holes is a highly debated issue. This is particularly true for jets from supermassive black holes that are a…

High optical to X-ray polarization ratio reveals Compton scattering in BL Lacertae's jet

Ivan Agudo, Ioannis Liodakis, Jorge Otero-Santos +147

Blazars, supermassive black hole systems (SMBHs) with highly relativistic jets aligned with the line of sight, are the most powerful long-lived emitters of electromagnetic emission…

Polarization Studies in Different Blazar Types. Part I: Correlation between Optical Brightness and Polarization Degree

E. A. Shkodkina, S. S. Savchenko, D. A. Morozova +11

We present an analysis of the cross-correlation between optical brightness and polarization degree in different types of blazars. The aim is to identify objects with simultaneous a…
