Radio imaging of the very-high-energy -ray emission region in the central engine of a radio galaxy
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2009-07-02)
The accretion of matter onto a massive black hole is believed to feed the relativistic plasma jets found in many active galactic nuclei (AGN). Although some AGN accelerate particles to energies exceeding 10(12) electron ...

(IOP Publishing, 2009-08-26)
We report on the results of two coordinated multiwavelength campaigns that focused on the blazar Markarian 421 during its 2006 and 2008 outbursts. These campaigns obtained UV and X-ray data using the XMM-Newton satellite, ...
Discovery of very high energy gamma rays from pks 1424+240 and multiwavelength constraints on its redshift
(IOP Publishing, 2009-12-18)
We report the first detection of very high energy(83) (VHE) gamma-ray emission above 140 GeV from PKS 1424+240, a BL Lac object with an unknown redshift. The photon spectrum above 140 GeV measured by VERITAS is well described ...
