The first Fermi multifrequency campaign on BL Lacertae: characterizing the low-activity state of the eponymous blazar

A. A. Abdo, +219 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the radio to gamma-ray behavior of BL Lac is unveiled during a low activity state thanks to the coordinated observations of radio-band (Metsahovi and VLBA), near-IR/optical (Tuorla, Steward, OAGH and MDM) and X-ray (RXTE and Swift) observatories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetic study of radiation-reaction-limited particle acceleration during the relaxation of unstable force-free equilibria

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make the connection between the corresponding plasma dynamics and the expected radiation signal, using 2D particle-in-cell simulations that self-consistently include synchrotron radiation reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey VIII: Analysis for the Field J0053+1234

TL;DR: The results of a spectroscopic investigation of a complete sample of objects with $K_s 1.5$ and the galaxies in such groups appear to be coeval and to show little sign of ongoing star formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Keck Spectroscopy of the Gravitational Lens System PG 1115+080: Redshifts of the Lensing Galaxies

TL;DR: The authors reported accurate redshifts for all four galaxies and showed that they belong to a single group at z_d = 0.311, and discussed implications for the existing lens models and derived H_0 = 52 +/- 14 km/s/Mpc.
