abstract
TeV BL Lacertae objects require extreme relativistic bulk motion in the gamma-ray emission region, but at the VLBI scale their radio knots hardly move. The same sources show evidence, in radio, of a structure made of a fast spine plus a slow layer. We propose that this structure exists even on the spatial scale of regions responsible for the gamma-ray emission. One component sees the (beamed) radiation produced by the other, and this enhances the inverse Compton emission of both components. In addition, this allows the magnetic field to be nearly in equipartition with the emitting particles. The inverse Compton emission of the spine is anisotropic in its frame, possibly producing the deceleration of the spine by the Compton rocket effect. In this scenario, also the slow layer is a relatively strong high energy emitter, and thus radiogalaxies become potentially detectable by GLAST.

A sample of 69 HBLs yields intrinsic radio-X-ray correlation L_R,int ∝ L_X,int^0.68 and fundamental plane log L_R,int = 0.57 log L_X,int + 0.33 log M_BH + 12.65, consistent with synchrotron cooling model for X-ray emission.
Bayesian fitting of an eccentric Keplerian orbit to the radio light curve of PKS 2131-021 gives e = 0.053 ± 0.015 without red noise but favors a circular orbit plus DRW noise with e < 0.15.
FR0 radio galaxies are abundant compact sources whose small sizes challenge standard evolutionary models, and SKA observations are expected to clarify their jet physics and demographics.
Review applies the photohadronic model with EBL corrections to explain multi-TeV flaring in three nearby blazars.
