About the Book

This volume gives a comprehensible survey of BL Lac objects: contributors summarize observations on these interesting astrophysical objects and present theoretical models to explain them. Understanding these objects should help to give a better insight into the physics of black holes and relativistic plasmas. Topics addressed cover radio jets expanding at superluminal velocities, possible effects of relativistic jets on interstellar matter, the continuum emission over the whole electromagnetic system and its variability, and the impact of these observations on gravitational lensing and cosmological evolution. The book should be immensely useful for graduate students.

Table of Contents:
Superluminal motion in quasars and BL Lac objects.- Statistics of superluminal sources.- VLBI polarization measurements of BL Lacertae objects.- Statistical properties of radio polarization of blazars.- The physical conditions and orientations of parsec-scale jets derived FROM CM-waveband variability data.- Radio variability of BL Lacs and related objects: Observations vs. shocked jet models.- The host galaxy of BL Lac objects or what's in a name?.- Optical observations of a complete sample of radio selected BL Lac objects.- A spectroscopic study of blazars at medium resolution.
