We review the recent progress in our understanding of the Blazhko effect in RR Lyrae stars.
Bright blazars were found to be prominent neutrino sources, and a number of IceCube events were associated with them over recent years. A particularly strong observational connection is present between neutrinos and blazars with bright,…
I discuss the spectral energy distribution (SED) of all blazars with redshift detected by the {\it Fermi} satellite and listed in the 3LAC catalog. I will update the so called "blazar sequence" from the phenomenological point of view, with…
I review constraints on the physical properties of AGN jets revealed through Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) studies of the structure and time-evolution of parsec-scale jets, including recent results from the MOJAVE program. In…
Blazars are usually classified following their synchrotron peak frequency ($\nu F(\nu)$ scale) as high, intermediate, low frequency peaked BL Lacs (HBLs, IBLs, LBLs), and flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), or, according to their radio…
Our view of the properties of extragalactic radio jets and the impact they have on the host galaxy has expanded in the recent years. This has been possible thanks to the data from new or upgraded radio telescopes. This review briefly…
TeV emission can be a common characteristic of low power blazars. This is in line with the sequence of blazars relating the observed bolometric luminosity with their overall spectral energy distribution. Detecting new TeV blazars, possibly…
The components of blazar jets that emit radiation span a factor of $10^{10}$ in scale. The spatial structure of these emitting regions depends on the observed energy. Photons emitted at different sites cross the lens plane at different…
The properties of the W boson are reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on recent measurements from the LEP2 and Tevatron experiments.
Blazars are a kind of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in which a relativistic jet is considered to be directed along the line of sight. They are characterized by strong and rapid variability of the flux and high polarization. We performed a…
This report presents the results of optical polarimetric observations carried out with 6-m and 1-m telescopes at SAO RAS. The study of the blazar S5 0716+714 radiation showed the presence of a period of the variability of brightness and…
We study the general physical properties of Fermi blazars using the Fermi fourth source catalog data (4FGL-DR2). The quasi-simultaneous multiwavelength data of Fermi blazar are fitted by using the one-zone leptonic model to obtain some…

The broad band sensitivity and flexibility of the BeppoSAX satellite have allowed unprecedented studies of the X-ray emission from blazars. Here we focus on recent results on the SEDs of a group of blazars with emission lines, allowing to…
I review the status of theoretical predictions for events containing a W or Z boson and jets, one or more of which may include heavy quarks. Special attention is paid to comparisons between different theoretical approaches and with the…
In this paper, the historical infrared (JHK) data compiled from the published literature are presented here for 30 blazars. Maximum near-IR variations are found and compared with the optical ones. For the color-magnitude relation, some…

High resolution radio observations remain the most direct way to study the formation and evolution of radio jets associated with the accretion onto massive black holes. We report preliminary results of our seven year VLBA observational…
Simultaneous observations of blazars in different spectral regimes imply that the amplitude of variability depends on the observational band. Both in the low energy spectral component and in the high energy spectral component, the amplitude…
