extreme γ-ray outbursts from flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), temporarily making these …

[HTML][HTML] Gamma-ray flares from relativistic magnetic reconnection in the jet of the quasar 3C 279

A Shukla, K Mannheim - Nature Communications, 2020 - nature.com
Spinning black holes in the centres of galaxies can release powerful magnetised jets. When
the jets are observed at angles of less than a few degrees to the line-of-sight, they are called …

Progress in multi-messenger observations and emission models of blazars

G Cao, X Geng, J Wang, X Yang - New Astronomy Reviews, 2023 - Elsevier
The recent hint of correlated γ-ray and neutrino emission from the blazar TXS 0506+ 056
has renewed interest in blazars as the source of high-energy neutrinos, in which the …

A multizone view on the multiwavelength emission of blazars

RY Liu, R Xue, ZR Wang, HB Tan… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
In this work, a time-dependent modelling is developed to study the emission properties of
blazars in the low state. Motivated by various observations, we speculate and assume that …
