Constraints on the emission region of 3C 279 during strong flares in 2014 and 2015 through VHE γ-ray observations with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
The flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 279 is known to exhibit pronounced variability in the high-energy (100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) γ-ray band, which is continuously monitored with Fermi-LAT. During two periods of high activity ...
The extended flare in CTA 102 in 2016 and 2017 within a hadronic model through cloud ablation by the relativistic jet
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
The flat-spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 (redshift 1.037) exhibited a tremendously bright four-month-long outburst from late 2016 to early 2017. In a previous paper, we interpreted the event as the ablation of a gas cloud ...
Probing the emission mechanism and magnetic field of neutrino blazars with multiwavelength polarization signatures
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
The characteristic two-component blazar spectral energy distribution (SED) can be of either leptonic and/or hadronic origins. The potential association of the high-energy neutrino event IceCube-170922A with the flaring ...
Cascading constraints from neutrino-emitting blazars: the case of TXS 0506+056
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
We present a procedure to generally constrain the environments of neutrino-producing sites in photomeson production models of jetted active galactic nuclei (AGNs) where any origin of the dominant target photon field can ...
Systematic physical characterization of the γ-ray spectra of 2FHL blazars
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
We test different physically motivated models for the spectral shape of the γ-ray emission in a sample of 128 blazars with known redshifts detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) at energies above 50 GeV. The first ...
