We present multi-epoch 8.4 and 43 GHz Very Long Baseline Array images of the BL Lac object 0735+178. The images confirm the presence of a twisted jet with two sharp apparent bends of 90$^{\circ}$ within two milliarcseconds of the core,…
BL Lacertae (Lac) objects that are detected at very-high energies (VHE) are of fundamental importance to study multiple astrophysical processes, including the physics of jets, the properties of the extragalactic background light and the…
We describe the parsec-scale kinematics of 200 AGN jets based on 15 GHz VLBA data obtained between 1994 Aug 31 and 2011 May 1. We present new VLBA 15 GHz images of these and 59 additional AGN from the MOJAVE and 2 cm Survey programs. Nearly…
The quasar 3C~286 is one of two compact steep spectrum sources detected by the {\it Fermi}/LAT. Here, we investigate the radio properties of the parsec(pc)-scale jet and its (possible) association with the $\gamma$-ray emission in 3C~286.…
We report the results of a phase-referencing study aimed at uncovering precession of the VLBI jet of BL Lac. The observations were conducted at 8, 15, 22, and 43 GHz and consist of seven epochs spanning about two years. We investigated the…
The unification of X-ray and radio selected BL Lacs has been an outstanding problem in the blazar research in the past years. Recent investigations have shown that the gap between the two classes can be filled with intermediate objects and…
Many properties of BL Lacs have become explicable in terms of the "relativistic beaming" hypothesis whereby BL Lacs are FR-1 radio galaxies viewed nearly along the jet axis. However, a possible problem with this model is that a transition…
We study the ensemble optical variability of 276 FSRQs and 86 BL Lacs in the Palomar-QUEST Survey with the goal of searching for common fluctuation properties, examining the range of behavior across the sample, and characterizing the…
We report on our observations of the parsec-scale radio jet structures of five blazars that have been detected by ground-based TeV gamma-ray telescopes. These five blazars all belong to the class of high-frequency peaked BL Lac objects…
We investigate the physical properties of BL Lac objects (BL Lacs) jets by modeling the quasi-simultaneous spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 22 {\it Fermi} BL Lac objects in the frame of a simple one-zone synchrotron self-Compton…
Evidence has been mounting that many of the transverse jet B fields observed in BL Lac objects on parsec scales represent the dominant vvroidal compoent of the intrinsic jet B fields. Such fields could come about, for example, as a result…
We have detected an optical jet in the BL Lac object 3C 371 that coincides with the radio jet in this object in the central few kpc. The most notable feature is a bright optical knot 3 arcsec (4 kpc) from the nucleus that occurs at the…
This paper concerns the relationship of BLLacs and flat spectrum weak emission-line galaxies. We compare the weak emission-line galaxies and the BLLacs in a sample of 57 flat spectrum objects (Marcha et al. 1996), using high-frequency radio…
We study the jet physics of the BL Lac object PKS 2233-148 making use of synergy of observational data sets in the radio and gamma-ray energy domains. The four-epoch multi-frequency (4-43 GHz) VLBA observations focused on the parsec-scale…
Recent VLBI studies of the morphology and kinematics of individual BL Lac objects (S5 1803+784, PKS 0735+178, etc.) have revealed a new paradigm for the pc-scale jet kinematics of these sources. Unlike the apparent superluminal outward…
We present the radio detection of 18 BL Lac objects from our survey of over 575 square degrees of sky. These 18 objects are located within 20 arcsec of the X-ray position, of which 11 have a measured red-shift. All candidates are radio…
Kinematic and spectral studies are improving our knowledge of the age distribution in compact radio sources, providing evidence that small sources are generally very young. The properties of jets in objects spanning the size range from a…
We have studied the inner regions of the LINER galaxy NGC1052 since the mid 1990s at high resolution with 15 GHz very-long-baseline interferometry observations. A compact, two-sided jet structure is revealed, with multiple sub-parsec scale…
One of the most well-known extragalactic sources in the sky, quasar 3C 454.3, shows a curved parsec-scale jet that has been exhaustively monitored with very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) over the recent years. In this work, we present…
We will present a multiepoch study of the three blazars 0954+658 (BL--Lac), PKS1510--089 (HPQ) and 1749+096 (BL--Lac). The first two sources are known to be $\gamma$--ray loud. Our study is based on milliarcsecond resolution polarimetric…
