An automated pipeline detects 48 EVPA rotations in 25 blazars from RoboPol data, including 27 new ones, with longer rotations correlating to enhanced gamma-ray activity.
J1248+4826 is a newly identified compact ORC candidate with a ~30 kpc ring radius and ~200 kpc total extent at assumed z=0.2, consistent with the ORC population but with the host galaxy on the ring edge and no ongoing AGN activity.
VLBI imaging at 4.9-43.2 GHz resolves symmetric parabolically expanding twin jets in 3C 452 to a few thousand Schwarzschild radii, with low Doppler factors indicating a viewing angle of about 70 degrees.
Radiative cooling in two-temperature GRMHD simulations for M87* produces cooler inner disks, dimmer disks, brighter and more extended jets, and lower total flux at 230 GHz compared to non-cooling models.
Spectral index maps of the limb-brightened jet in 3C 84 show significant evolution across three epochs, indicating dynamic filamentary structures, evolving magnetic fields, and interaction with the ambient medium.
Spatiotemporal correlation search between IceCube neutrinos and blazar optical flares in expanded samples shows weak signals primarily from two associations, with an upper limit of 8% neutrino contribution from flaring blazars and higher Doppler factors in associated sources.
