We collect multi-wavelength measurements of the nuclear emission of 20 low luminosity FR I radio-galaxies to test the viability of the FR I - BL Lac unifying model. Although poorly sampled, the Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) of FR Is are consistent with the double peaked shape characteristic of BL Lacs. Furthermore while the distribution of the FR Is in the broad-band spectral index planes shows essentially no overlap with the regions where HBL and LBL are located, this can be simply due to the effects of relativistic beaming. More quantitatively, deriving the beaming Doppler factor of a given radio-galaxy from its X-ray luminosity ratio with respect to BL Lacs with similar extended radio luminosity, we find that i) the luminosity in all bands, ii) the value of the spectral indices, iii) the slope of the X-ray spectrum, iv) the overall SED shape, may be all simultaneously reproduced. However, the corresponding jet bulk Lorentz factors are significantly smaller than those derived for BL Lacs from other observational and theoretical considerations. This suggests to consider a simple variant of the unification scheme that allows for the presence of a velocity structure in the jet.

We consider archival ROSAT and HST observations of five FRI radio galaxies and isolate their nuclear emission from that of the host galaxy. This enable us to determine the Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) of their nuclei spanning from the radio to the X-ray band. They cannot be described as single power-laws but require the presence of an emission peak located between the IR and soft X-ray band. We found consistency between the SED peak position and the values of the broad band spectral indices of radio galaxies with those of BL Lac, once the effects of beaming are properly taken into account. FRI SED are thus qualitatively similar to those of BL Lacs supporting the identification of FRI sources as their mis-oriented counterparts. No dependence of the shape of the SED on the FR~I orientation is found.

Electrons are accelerated at the shock wave diffuse and advect outward, and subsequently drift away into the emitting region of the jet that is located in the downstream flow from the plane shock. The current work considers the acceleration of the el ectrons in the shock front. Assuming a proper boundary condition at the interface between the shock and the downstream zones, a novel particle distribution in the downstream flow is proposed in this work to reproduce the broadband spectral energy distribution of BL Lac objects. We find that (1) we can obtain the particle distribution downstream of the shock wave in four cases; (2) electrons with higher energy ($gamma>gamma_{0}$) dominate the emission spectrum; (3) the distinctly important physical parameters assumed in our model can reasonably reproduce the multi-wavelength spectrum of the high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac object Markarian 421 (Mrk 421).
We present results of multi-wavelength (MWL) observations of the high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae (HBL) object 1ES 0806+524 (z=0.138). Triggered by a high optical state, very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) observations were carried out with the MAGI C stereoscopic system from January to March 2011. During the observations a relatively short VHE gamma-ray flare was detected that lasted no longer than one night. To complement the VHE observations, simultaneous MWL data were collected in high energy gamma-rays using the textit{Fermi Large Area Telescope (HE, 300 MeV - 100 GeV), in the X-ray and UV band with the textit{Swift} satellite, in the optical R--band through observations with the KVA telescope and in the radio band using the OVRO telescope. This constitutes the first time that such a broad band coverage has been obtained for this source. We study the source properties through the characterization of the spectral energy distribution (SED) and its evolution through two different VHE flux states. The SED can be modeled with a simple one-zone SSC model, resulting in parameters that are comparable to those obtained for other HBLs.
We report observations of a transient source fermi from radio to grs. fermi was discovered by the {it Fermi-LAT} in May 2017. Follow-up {it Swift-XRT} observations revealed three flaring episodes through March 2018, and the peak X-ray flux is about $ 10^3$ higher than the {it ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS)} flux upper limit. Optical spectral measurements taken by the {it Magellan 6.5-m telescope} and the {it Lick-Shane telescope} both show a largely featureless spectrum, strengthening the BL Lac interpretation first proposed by citet{Bruni18}. The optical and mid-infrared (MIR) emission goes to a higher state in 2018, when the flux in high energies goes down to a lower level. Our {it RATAN-600m} measurements at 4.8~GHz and 8.2~GHz do not indicate any significant radio flux variation over the monitoring seasons in 2017 and 2018, nor deviate from the archival {it NVSS} flux level. During GeV flaring times, the spectrum is very hard ($Gamma_gammasim$1.7) in the GeV band and at times also very hard (($Gamma_{rm X}lesssim2$) in the X-rays, similar to a high-synchrotron-peak (or even an extreme) BL Lac object, making fermi a good target for ground-based {it Cherenkov telescopes}.

We present a detailed investigation of the flaring activity observed from a BL Lac object, S5 0716+714 , during its brightest ever optical state in the second half of January 2015. Observed almost simultaneously in the optical, X-rays and {gamma}-ray s, a significant change in the degree of optical polarization (PD) and a swing in the position angle (PA) of polarization were recorded. A detection in the TeV (VHE) was also reported by the MAGIC consortium during this flaring episode. Two prominent sub-flares, peaking about 5-days apart, were seen in almost all the energy bands. The multi-wavelength light-curves, spectral energy distribution (SED) and polarization are modeled using the time-dependent code developed by Zhang et al. (2014). This model assumes a straight jet threaded by large scale helical magnetic fields taking into account the light travel time effects, incorporating synchrotron flux and polarization in 3D geometry. The rapid variation in PD and rotation in PA are most likely due to re-connections happening in the emission region in the jet, as suggested by the change in the ratio of toroidal to poloidal components of magnetic field during quiescent and flaring states.
