European astronomers have carried out multi-wavelength radio observations of a radio galaxy designated 3C 111. Results of the ...

Depending on properties of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the jets, astronomers divide such objects into different, clearly defined classes. However, with the BL Lacertae blazar ...

Blazar BL Lacertae is an active galaxy, emitting from its core a plasma jet that is directed towards Earth (artistic image). Blazars are active galaxies that emit narrow jets of ionised matter ...

These telescopes allowed astronomers to detect the telltale signs of a blazar: high-energy emissions, rapid brightness fluctuations, and powerful particle jets. What makes this discovery even more ...

According to the research team trying to unravel the mysterious blazar, jets of ionized matter ejected from near the poles of ...

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech BL Lacertae, an enigmatic blazar, has shattered long-held classification norms, leaving astronomers baffled. Originally mistaken for a variable star, this active galaxy emits ...

Scientists have discovered the farthest and oldest blazar in the universe that is shooting out jets of charged particles directly at us. It sits at the heart of a galaxy 12.9 billion light-years away ...

By fitting with unprecedented accuracy to 42 simultaneous multiwavelength blazar spectra, we are able to constrain the location of the brightest synchrotron emitting region, and show that there must ...
