Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with energies exceeding 1019 eV are believed to originate from extragalactic environments, potentially associated with relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN). Among AGNs, blazars, particularly those d...

The detection of gamma-ray burst GRB 221009A has attracted significant attention due to its record brightness and first-ever detection of multi-TeV γ-rays from a GRB. Located at redshift z=0.151, this event is relatively nearby by GRB standards...

The Blazar Sequence and Its Physical Understanding

  • Elisa Prandini and
  • 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 precessing jets of microquasar SS 433 have punched through the supernova remnant W 50 from the explosion forming the compact object. The jets collimate before reaching beyond the shell, some 40 pc downstream, just the region of origin of TeV gamm...

Extended Gravity Constraints at Different Scales

  • Stanislav Alexeyev and
  • Vyacheslav Prokopov

We review a set of the possible ways to constrain extended gravity models at Galaxy clusters scales (the regime of dark energy explanations and comparison with ΛCDM), for black hole shadows, gravitational wave astronomy, binary pulsars, the So...

Low fluxes of astrophysical neutrinos at TeV energies, and the overwhelming background of atmospheric neutrinos below that, render the current paradigm of neutrino astronomy a severely statistics-limited one. While many hints have emerged, all the ev...
