SUMMARY:Physics Department Colloquium: Yuri Y. Kovalev
DESCRIPTION:Multi-messenger Lighthouses of the Universe: The many extremes of Active Galactic Nuclei\nAbstract: Active galactic nuclei (AGN) make the most significant contribution to the overall energy balance in the Universe in all electromagnetic bands not dominated by the cosmic microwave background. A good understanding of physical processes and phenomena driving this contribution is paramount for addressing the key challenges in astrophysics and cosmology\, including accretion onto black holes\, electromagnetic fields\, and shock waves in relativistic plasma.\nThese factors can be best studied with comprehensive programs combining dedicated multi-band and multi-messenger measurements with ultra-high angular resolution imaging in the radio regime enabled by the technique of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). \nIn this talk I will discuss results from several such studies which we have conducted recently\, targeting different aspects of AGN physics.\nThe discovery of extreme brightness in blazars\, made with space VLBI observations\, has set new limits on the very high rates of energy release in plasma.\nThe mounting observational indications for extragalactic neutrino production in blazar-type AGN now begin to deliver key understanding about the physics of proton\nacceleration in blazars\, either nearby central supermassive black holes or in plasma shocks embedded in the relativistic jets. Deriving from these results\,\nthe continued improvements of sensitivity and fidelity of VLBI observations\, and the expected advent of a true era of multi-messenger astronomy\,\nI will conclude by outlining several fundamental directions for studying the physical nature of AGN which will become feasible in the coming years.
