FERMI LARGE AREA TELESCOPE VIEW OF THE CORE OF THE RADIO GALAXY CENTAURUS A
(IOP, 2010-07-29)We present γ-ray observations with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A). The previous EGRET detection is confirmed, and the localization ... -
FERMI LARGE AREA TELESCOPE DETECTION OF GRAVITATIONAL LENS DELAYED γ-RAY FLARES FROM BLAZAR B0218+357
(IOP, 2014-01-30)Using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), we report the first clear γ-ray measurement of a delay between flares from the gravitationally lensed images of a blazar. The delay was detected in B0218+357, a known ... -
Extended X-ray emission in PKS 1718−649
(EDP sciences, 2018-04-30)PKS 1718−649 is one of the closest and most comprehensively studied candidates of a young active galactic nucleus (AGN) that is still embedded in its optical host galaxy. The compact radio structure, with a maximal extent ... -
Exceptional NIR flare in gamma-ray loud FSRQ PKS B1424-418
(2015-01-26)The gamma-ray loud flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1424-418 has been steadily increasing its luminosity since August 2017 and is now (2018-01-21) at its historic recorded maximum of J=13.73 +/- 0.05. These observations were ... -
Energetic Particles of Cosmic Accelerators II: Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma-ray Bursts
The high-energy universe has revealed that energetic particles are ubiquitous in the cosmos and play a vital role in the cultivation of cosmic environments on all scales. Our pursuit of more than a century to uncover the ... -

Dual-frequency VLBI study of Centaurus A on sub-parsec scales. The highest-resolution view of an extragalactic jet
(EDP sciences, 2011-05-20)Context. Centaurus A is the closest active galactic nucleus. High resolution imaging using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) enables us to study the spectral and kinematic behavior of the radio jet–counterjet system ... -
Detection of the blazar S4 0954+65 at very-high-energy with the MAGIC telescopes during an exceptionally high optical state
(EDP sciences, 2018-09-13)Aims. The very high energy (VHE ≳100 GeV) γ-ray MAGIC observations of the blazar S4 0954+65, were triggered by an exceptionally high flux state of emission in the optical. This blazar has a disputed redshift of z = 0.368 ... -
Detection of a Gamma-Ray Flare from the High-redshift Blazar DA 193
(IOP, 2019-02-01)High-redshift (z > 2) blazars are the most powerful members of the blazar family. Yet, only a handful of them have both X-ray and γ-ray detection, thereby making it difficult to characterize the energetics of the most ... -
Consequences of a possible jet-star interaction in the inner central parsec of Centaurus A
The jet-counterjet system of the closest radio-loud active galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A) can be studied with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) on unprecedented small linear scales of ∼ 0.018 pc. These high-resolution ... -
A Basic Formula for Effective International Student Services
(2020-08-15)The effective delivery of support services for international students has been the subject of professional discourse for nearly a century (Wheeler, King & Davidson, 1925). While scholars have long examined the problem of ... -
ANTARES constrains a blazar origin of two IceCube PeV neutrino events
(EDP sciences, 2015-03-30)The source(s) of the neutrino excess reported by the IceCube Collaboration is unknown. The TANAMI Collaboration recently reported on the multiwavelength emission of six bright, variable blazars which are positionally ... -
A significant hardening and rising shape detected in the MeV/GeV νFᵥ spectrum from the recently discovered very-high-energy blazar S4 0954+65 during the bright optical flare in 2015 February
(Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan (PASJ), 2016-05-23)We report on Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and multi-wavelength results on the recently discovered very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) blazar S4 0954+65 (z = 0.368) during an exceptionally bright optical flare in 2015 ... -
