An accelerating plasma blob crossing the BLR in 3C 279 reproduces the 2013 orphan gamma-ray flare's hard spectrum, rapid rise, slow decay, and lack of optical variability via varying external Compton scattering.
First results from the SPOTS campaign reveal low average optical polarization (≲10%) and low magnetic field ordering (F_B ≲0.10) across 14 TeV blazars, with stochastic or rotating polarization angles and wavelength-dependent behavior indicating complex, turbulent jet structures.
