    Detection of very-high energy γ-ray emission from NGC 1275 by the MAGIC telescopes
    We report on the detection of very-high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) γ-ray emission from NGC 1275, the central radio galaxy of the Perseus cluster of galaxies. The...

    Discerning the location of the gamma-ray emission region in AGN blazars from multi-messenger and multi-spectral-range observations
    Relativistic jets in AGN in general, and in blazars in particular, are the most energetic and among the most powerful astrophysical objects known so far. Their...

    Discovery of a very luminous megamaser during a radio flare in the Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 348
    We report the detection of a new H_2O megamaser in the Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 348 with the MPIfR 100 m telescope in Effelsberg. With an apparent isotropic...

    Evidence of Parsec-scale Jets in Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei
    The nuclear radio emission of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) is often associated with unresolved cores. In this paper we show that most LLAGNs...

    Extreme photometric and polarimetric variability of blazar S4 0954+65 at its maximum optical and γ-ray brightness levels
    In 2022 the BL Lac object S4 0954+65 underwent a major variability phase, reaching its historical maximum brightness in the optical and γ-ray bands. We present...

    Fast X-ray/IR observations of the black hole transient Swift J1753.5–0127: From an IR lead to a very long jet lag
    We report two epochs of simultaneous near-infrared (IR) and X-ray observations of the low-mass X-ray binary black hole candidate Swift J1753.5–0127 with a...

    Flat-spectrum symmetric objects with ~1kpc sizes - I. The candidates
    In order to understand the origin and evolution of radio galaxies, searches for the youngest such sources have been conducted. Compact symmetric objects (CSOs)...
