The radio galaxy 3C 84 is a representative of gamma-ray-bright misaligned active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and one of the best laboratories to study the radio properties of the sub-pc jet in connection with the gamma-ray emission. In order to…

In March 2018, Mukherjee (2018) reported the detection by VERITAS of very-high-energy emission (VHE; > 100 GeV) from 3C 264. This is the sixth, and second most distant, radio galaxy ever detected in the TeV regime. In this article we…
