Blazars are among the most powerful objects in the Universe and are prime candidates for producing ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and astrophysical neutrinos. In today’s multi-messenger era, combining data from different cosmic messengers with advanced modeling tools is key to unlocking the secrets of these extreme sources.

PKS 1510-089 is a blazar located at a redshift of z=0.361. It belongs to the blazar class of flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) and is one of the few FSRQs detected at very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays with Cherenkov telescopes. In July 2019, it underwent a flare in high energy (HE) gamma-rays as seen with Fermi-LAT. The source was detected by H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) during...

The role of active galactic nuclei in the production of high-energy neutrinos is crucial in the understanding of the excess of neutrinos seen by the IceCube observatory in the direction of the blazar TXS 0506+056 and the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068. In particular blazars jets are potential sites of cosmic-ray acceleration, where neutrino production would be naturally explained along with the...

TXS 0506+056 is the first blazar associated with a high-energy neutrino detection (IceCube-170922A) in 2017. Notably, no immediate radio brightening accompanied this neutrino producing γ-ray flare but instead, a major radio outburst occurred about 2.5 years later. We investigate whether the 2017 flare accompanied by a high-energy neutrino event can lead to such a delayed radio flare. Using...

The origin of Very High-Energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission in High-frequency peaked BL Lac objects (HBLs) remains debated. While standard leptonic models successfully explain the synchrotron peak, they often struggle to reproduce hard TeV spectra without extreme parameters. We explore a hybrid scenario where the VHE emission arises from the interaction of stochastically accelerated protons with...

Non-jetted AGN exhibit hard X-ray emission with a power law spectrum above $\sim$2 keV, which is thought to be produced through Comptonization of soft photons by electrons and positrons (pairs) in the vicinity of the black hole.

Turbulent particle acceleration is widely invoked to explain high-energy emission from extreme astrophysical sources.

High center-of-mass electromagnetic (EM) interactions could produce decaying heavy leptons and hadrons, leading to neutrino generation. These processes might occur in the most extreme astrophysical and cosmological scenarios, potentially altering the expected gamma-ray and neutrino fluxes in both the hadronic and the leptonic pictures. For instance, neutrinos could arise from high-redshift EM...
