TURBULENT, EXTREME MULTI-ZONE MODEL FOR SIMULATING FLUX AND POLARIZATION VARIABILITY IN BLAZARS (2013, methodology): “The electric-vector position angle (EVPA) χ of the polarization will also change with time in a random manner that can often appear as a rotation over hundreds of degrees (Jones 1988; Marscher et al. 2008; D’Arcangelo 2009).”
Relativistic MHD simulations of core-collapse GRB jets: 3D instabilities and magnetic dissipation (2015, background): “…the nature of dissipation is different from the usual picture of dissipation at a recollimation shock in a hydrodynamic jet (Gomez et al. 1995; Marscher et al. 2008; Bromberg & Levinson 2009; Nalewajko & Sikora 2009; Meier 2012; Nalewajko 2012; Nalewajko & Sikora 2012; Cohen et al. 2014).”
Kinematics of Parsec-scale Jets of Gamma-Ray Blazars at 43 GHz within the VLBA-BU-BLAZAR Program (2017, background): “Results for BL Lac and 3C 454.3 are presented in Marscher et al. (2008) and Jorstad et al. (2010), respectively.”
The Interplay of Magnetically Dominated Turbulence and Magnetic Reconnection in Producing Nonthermal Particles (2019, background): “…Lyutikov et al. 2019), black hole accretion disks (Balbus & Hawley 1998; Brandenburg & Subramanian 2005), jets from active galactic nuclei (Marscher et al. 2008; MacDonald & Marscher 2018), radio lobes (Vogt & Enßlin 2005; O’Sullivan et al. 2009), gamma-ray bursts (Piran 2004; Kumar &…”
Photopolarimetric Monitoring of Blazars in the Optical and Near-Infrared Bands with the Kanata Telescope. I. Correlations between Flux, Color, and Polarization (2011, background): “Recently, smooth rotations of optical polarization have been reported in several blazars based on long-term polarimetric observations (Marscher et al. 2008; Sasada et al. 2010; Marscher et al. 2010; Abdo et al. 2010c; Jorstad et al. 2010).”
FLARING BEHAVIOR OF THE QUASAR 3C 454.3 ACROSS THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM (2010, background): “Rotation of the optical EVPA associated with a disturbance propagating down the jet has been observed previously in BL Lacertae (Marscher et al. 2008) and in the quasars 3C 279 and PKS 1510−089 (Larionov et al. 2008; Marscher et al. 2010).”
BLAZARS IN THE FERMI ERA: THE OVRO 40 m TELESCOPE MONITORING PROGRAM (2010, methodology): “At optical wavelengths, rapid swings in the polarization position angle have been used to tie together flux density variations at TeV energies and variations at millimeter wavelengths (Marscher et al. 2008).”
LOCATION OF γ-RAY FLARE EMISSION IN THE JET OF THE BL LACERTAE OBJECT OJ287 MORE THAN 14 pc FROM THE CENTRAL ENGINE (2010, background): “The actual distance between the central engine in OJ287 and C1 must be even greater if C0 lies downstream of the acceleration and collimation zone of the jet (ACZ; Jorstad et al. 2007; Marscher et al. 2008, 2010).”
PROBING THE INNER JET OF THE QUASAR PKS 1510−089 WITH MULTI-WAVEBAND MONITORING DURING STRONG GAMMA-RAY ACTIVITY (2010, methodology): “We processed the data as described by Marscher et al. (2008), fitting the photon count spectrum with a single power law plus photoelectric absorption corresponding to a neutral hydrogen column density of 8 × 1020 cm−2.”
