Relativistic jets from active galactic nuclei

R Blandford, D Meier… - Annual Review of …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
The nuclei of most normal galaxies contain supermassive black holes, which can accrete
gas through a disk and become active. These active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can form jets that …

Relativistic jets of blazars

T Hovatta, E Lindfors - New Astronomy Reviews, 2019 - Elsevier
Relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei have been known to exist for 100 years. Blazars with
their jet pointing close to our line of sight are some of the most variable and extreme objects …

[HTML][HTML] Polarized blazar X-rays imply particle acceleration in shocks

I Liodakis, AP Marscher, I Agudo, AV Berdyugin… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Most of the light from blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets of magnetized plasma that point
nearly along the line of sight, is produced by high-energy particles, up to around 1 TeV …

Discovery of X-ray polarization angle rotation in the jet from blazar Mrk 421

L Di Gesu, HL Marshall, SR Ehlert, DE Kim… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
The magnetic-field conditions in astrophysical relativistic jets can be probed by
multiwavelength polarimetry, which has been recently extended to X-rays. For example, one …

Magnetic field reversal in the turbulent environment around a repeating fast radio burst

R Anna-Thomas, L Connor, S Dai, Y Feng… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief, intense flashes of radio waves from unidentified
extragalactic sources. Polarized FRBs originate in highly magnetized environments. We …

Monitoring of jets in active galactic nuclei with VLBA experiments. XVIII. Kinematics and inner jet evolution of bright radio-loud active galaxies

ML Lister, DC Homan, KI Kellermann… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We have analyzed the parsec-scale jet kinematics of 447 bright radio-loud active active
galactic nuclei (AGN), based on 15 GHz Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) data obtained …

MOJAVE. XV. VLBA 15 GHz total intensity and polarization maps of 437 parsec-scale AGN jets from 1996 to 2017

ML Lister, MF Aller, HD Aller, MA Hodge… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We present 5321 mas-resolution total intensity and linear polarization maps of 437 active
galactic nuclei (AGNs) obtained with the VLBA at 15 GHz as part of the MOJAVE survey, and …

MOJAVE. X. Parsec-scale jet orientation variations and superluminal motion in active galactic nuclei

ML Lister, MF Aller, HD Aller, DC Homan… - The Astronomical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe the parsec-scale kinematics of 200 active galactic nucleus (AGN) jets based on
15 GHz Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) data obtained between 1994 August 31 and 2011 …

Mojave. XIII. Parsec-Scale Agn Jet Kinematics Analysis Based on 19 Years of Vlba Observations at 15 GHz

ML Lister, MF Aller, HD Aller, DC Homan… - The Astronomical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
