Investigating the contribution of gamma-ray blazar flares to neutrino flux
Blazars belong to the family of active galactic nuclei called quasars. What differentiates them from quasars is that the flares ejected out of these active galactic nuclei are pointed toward the Earth. These flares contain high-energy cosmic rays whi.....»»
