We review the recent data on the knot HST-1 in the M87 jet in the context of typical blazar behavior. In particular we discuss the wide-band flare of 2005 which peaked at a factor of 50 to 80 times the intensity observed in 2000; the…
M87 is a key object whose study can reveal the complex phenomena in cooling cores. We use a deep XMM-Newton observation of M87 to produce detailed temperature, pressure and entropy maps in order to analyze the physical processes of cooling…
For the first time an excess of photons above an energy threshold of 730 GeV from the giant radio galaxy M87 has been measured at a significance level above 4 sigma. The data have been taken during the years 1998 and 1999 with the HEGRA…
The blazars provide a considerable opportunity to peer into the workings within a few tens of parsecs of the central engine in AGN. This considerable opportunity involves significant challenges as different macroscopic dynamical processes…
Recent XMM-Newton observations of the cooling flow gas in M87 indicate sharply decreasing oxygen, iron and silicon abundances within $\sim 5$ kpc of the galactic center. This result is unexpected since stellar mass loss and Type Ia…
The recent 230 GHz observations of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) are able to image the innermost structure of the M87 and show a ring-like structure which is in agreement with thermal synchrotron emission generated in a torus…
The proximity of core-collapse Supernova 1987A (SN1987A) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and its rapid evolution make it a unique case study of the development of a young supernova remnant. We aim at resolving the remnant of SN1987A for…
We describe a Chandra X-ray ToO project designed to isolate the site of TeV flaring in the radio galaxy M87. To date, we have triggered the Chandra observations only once (2010 April) and by the time of the first of our 9 observations, the…
The advent of global mm-band Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) in recent years has finally revealed the morphology of the base of the two most prominent nearby, bright, extragalactic radio jets in M\,87 and 3C\,84. The images are…
With new calibration data, thermal emission from the jet of radio galaxy M87 is studied with about 700 ks archival data with Chandra. For nucleus, HST-1, knot D, X-ray energy spectra is well fitted with a power law. However, For knot A, a…
M87 is the first extragalactic source detected in the TeV range that is not a blazar. With the increasing performances of ground-based Cherenkov telescopes, we can now probe the variability in the gamma-ray flux at small timescales, thus…
The wealth of high quality data now available on the M87 jet inspired us to carry out a detailed analysis of the plasma physical conditions in the jet. In a companion paper (Lobanov, Hardee & Eilek, this proceedings) we identify a…
One of the most intriguing open questions of today's astrophysics is the one concerning the location and the mechanisms for the production of MeV, GeV, and TeV gamma-rays in AGN jets. M87 is a privileged laboratory for a detailed study of…
We study the centimeter- to millimeter-wavelength synchrotron spectrum of the core of the radio galaxy M87 at $\lesssim0.8\,{\rm mas}~\sim110R_{s}$ spatial scales using four years of fully simultaneous, multi-frequency VLBI data obtained by…
During the course of an investigation of the interaction of the radio galaxy M84 and its ambient cluster gas, we found excess X-ray emission aligned with the northern radio jet. The emission extends from the X-ray core of the host galaxy as…
The high signal to noise and good point spread function of XMM have allowed the first detailed study of the interaction between the thermal and radio emitting plasma in the central regions of M87. We show that the X-ray emitting structure,…
The radio-loud active galactic nucleus in M 87 hosts a powerful jet fueled by a super-massive black hole in its center. A bright feature 80 pc away from the M 87 core has been reported to show superluminal motions, and possibly to be…

We present archival high spatial resolution VLA and VLBA data of the nuclei of seven of the nearest and brightest Seyfert galaxies in the Southern Hemisphere. At VLA resolution (~0.1 arcsec), the nucleus of the Seyfert galaxies is…
A series of new radio-continuum (lambda=20 cm) mosaic images focused on the NGC 300 galactic system were produced using archived observational data from the VLA and/or ATCA. These new images are both very sensitive (rms=60 microJy) and…
