Cover Story: Quasars are a class of AGN that produce immense energy via the fast accretion onto supermassive black holes in the centre of massive galaxies. Traditionally, quasars with high radio luminosities have been thought to present jets with edge-brightened morphology due to the limitations of previous radio surveys. The Low Frequency Array Two-Metre Sky Survey with its unprecedented sensitivity and resolution covering wide sky areas has enabled the first systematic selection and investigation of quasars with core-brightened morphology. We carried out a VERY LARGE ARRAY snapshot survey to reveal inner structures of jets in selected quasar candidates. Our results show that the occurrence of centre-brightened jets in powerful radiatively efficient systems is not common, probably mainly due to two factors: galaxy environment and jet power.

Using a code that employs a self-consistent method for computing the effects of photo-ionization on circumstellar gas dynamics, we model the formation of wind-driven nebulae around massive stars. We take into account changes in stellar properties and...

Gravitational waves from binary black hole and neutron star mergers are being regularly detected. As of 2021, 90 confident gravitational wave detections have been made by the LIGO and Virgo detectors. Work is ongoing to further increase the sensitivi...

The Blazar Sequence and Its Physical Understanding

  • Gabriele Ghisellini

15 February 2022

Introduced in 1998 to attempt a first unified view of the broad-band emission properties of blazars, the blazar sequence has been extensively used in the past 25 years to guide observations as well as the physical interpretation of the overall emissi...

The collection of individually resolvable gravitational wave (GW) events makes up a tiny fraction of all GW signals that reach our detectors, while most lie below the confusion limit and are undetected. Similarly to voices in a crowded room, the coll...

Low- and intermediate-mass stars evolve into asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars near the end of their lives, losing mass through slow and massive winds. The ejected material creates a chemically-rich expanding envelope around the star, namely the ci...

We investigate the cosmology of mini Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) produced by large density perturbations that collapse during a stiff fluid domination phase. Such a phase can be realized by a runaway-inflaton model that crosses an inflection point...

To understand the physical conditions of various gaseous systems, plasma diagnostics must be performed properly. To that end, it is equally important to have extinction correction performed properly, even before performing plasma diagnostics. This me...
