Blazars: Cosmic Beacons of Extreme Physics

Join us as we probe blazars—active galactic nuclei with relativistic jets pointed almost directly at us. We’ll unpack why they’re so bright, differentiate BL Lac objects from OVV quasars, and explore how multi-wavelength observations (and a landmark neutrino detection) reveal blazars as cosmic particle accelerators and laboratories for extreme physics. We’ll also touch on the unified model, jet formation mysteries, and what these enigmatic beacons tell us about the universe.
