BL Lacertae is a blazar—a kind of galaxy with a supermassive black hole and high-energy jets pointing toward Earth.

Astronomers using NASA’s IXPE satellite have finally cracked a cosmic mystery—how X-rays are produced in the energetic jets ...

Astrophysicists using NASA's IXPE orbiting telescope were able to understand the origin of X-rays in jets supermassive black ...

AO 0235+164 is a blazar located some 7.5 billion light years away in the constellation Aries. Given that AO 0235+164 was identified as a BL Lac object in 1975, it has been extensively studied ...

Blazar BL Lacertae surprised scientists with its unpredictable activity. Initially thought to be a variable star, it was ...

According to the IXPE's findings, high optical to X-ray polarization ratio indicates that Compton scattering might be the mechanism of X-ray generation. There are two possible and competing ...
